CTA

58Fair

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

Problems

  • 4 equal tiles, no dominant CTA
  • gated copy promises wait, not value
  • muted color vs black sibling tile
  • arrow-only affordance on tiles

Mobile web

58Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1
  1. Request Access tile — The primary conversion action is one of four equal tiles, placed last and pushed below the first viewport.

Information hierarchy

68Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Four equal-weight tiles — Buy/Sell, Trade, Finance, and Request Access share identical size and styling, so no single primary action wins the scan.
  2. Announcement banner — The full-width seed-round banner with 'Read the announcement' is the first thing seen and pulls attention off the conversion path — worse on mobile where it fills a quarter of the screen.
  3. Login nav button — The only button-styled element in the header is 'Login', giving an existing-user action more visual weight than any new-visitor CTA.

Value props

82Strong

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

Liquid Compute’s headline sellsCompute has a price. Now it has a market.Liquid Compute is building a regulated exchange for compute: verification, clearing, settlement, and price discovery for neoclouds, AI companies, and traders.

Working

  • Two-beat headline nails the category gap
  • Subhead names buyers and exchange functions
  • Live GPU ticker proves price discovery

Could improve

  • Hero image decorates, shows no product
  • No emotional hook for illiquidity pain
  • No traction or volume numbers
