Value props

Title, subtitle, hero — do they sell the product's true value?

CTA

72Fair

Copy, size, verb, cost-feel — does the primary CTA earn the click?

Problems

  • 'Request' feels like waiting, not value
  • nav 'Join us' competes with hero CTA
  • three different asks above the fold

Information hierarchy

76Fair

Does the design help or inhibit what the page is trying to say?

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Join us nav button — A third button-styled CTA with a different label than "Request early access", forcing visitors to reconcile competing actions.
  2. Request Demo nav link — A fourth conversion label in the fold; unclear how it differs from early access, diluting the single-action funnel.

Mobile web

80Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Sign in secondary button — Full-width white 'Sign in' button matches the primary CTA's size and weight, splitting tap attention right below 'Request early access'.
  2. Stacked hero headline block — 'FINBAR' plus the three-line 'Financial data and intelligence for investors' subhead consumes half the viewport, pushing the CTA to the fold's edge.
