CTA

72Fair

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

Mercura
Pattern (Order & Quote AI)

Problems

  • demo click feels costly (sales call)
  • no low-friction secondary option
  • no in-product taste of value

Value props

76Fair

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

Mercura’s headline sellsStop losing deals to manual quote & order handlingAutomate your inside sales processes with AI that understands customer requests, matches products, and wins more business.

Working

  • Pain-first headline names lost deals
  • Subhead explains the AI mechanism
  • Hero screenshot shows real request queue

Could improve

  • No numbers or time-saved proof anywhere
  • 'Wins more business' is vague filler
  • Only proof point is the YC badge

Information hierarchy

82Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Hiring announcement banner — Top-of-page recruiting link is the first thing read and pulls buyers away from the demo path.
  2. Careers nav link — Second recruiting exit above the fold; job seekers aren't the conversion audience here.
  3. Header Get a Demo — Styled identically to the hero CTA, splitting the primary action into two equal-weight targets.
  4. Product screenshot sliver — Only the top edge clears the fold, so the strongest proof-of-product asset barely communicates.

Mobile web

84Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Product screenshot table — Desktop data table shrunk to illegible microtext on a phone — conveys nothing at this size.
  2. Hiring announcement banner — Recruiting message takes the top slice of the first viewport instead of serving buyers.
