Mobile web

52Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Seed round banner — Sticky promo bar with "LEARN MORE >>" takes the top slice of the fold and routes taps away from conversion.
  2. Dashboard demo table — Desktop-density data table (six columns, tiny labels) crammed into the phone column; text like "CSM: Sarah Chen" is squint-small.

Value props

68Fair

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

Olive’s headline sellsBuild fast, secure BI tools with AI.

Working

  • Demo shows prompt-to-dashboard flow
  • Names real anxieties: fast, secure
  • Realistic data makes it credible

Could improve

  • No subhead to add specifics
  • "Fast" never quantified
  • No proof point for "secure"

Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Duplicate CTA pair — "Book a demo" and "Try it Olive" sit side by side at near-equal weight, repeating the nav pair and splitting the one decision into four buttons.
  2. Nav CTA duplicates — "Book a demo" and "Try Olive" in the header pre-empt the mid-page CTAs, so the same choice is asked twice before the demo even lands.
  3. Seed round banner — The top bar's "LEARN MORE >>" link is the first interactive element visitors see and routes attention to funding news, not the product.
  4. Truncated dashboard panel — The demo dashboard's key-issues text clips mid-sentence at the card edge, weakening the proof moment the fold is built around.

CTA

72Fair

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

Problems

  • labels differ: 'Try Olive' vs 'Try it Olive'
  • no payoff or 'free' signal in copy
  • mock prompt box isn't clickable
  • icon-only arrow adds no promise
