CTA

62Fair

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

Onlook
pen.dev
Figma (Dev Mode / Make)
Paper

Problems

  • promises a form, not product value
  • nav promotes 'Book a Demo' instead
  • label absent from nav — inconsistent
  • generic; ignores headline's promise

Trust

62Fair

Proof that the product is real, competent, and safe to try.

Value props

72Fair

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

Onlook’s headline sellsCursor for DesignersOnlook is where teams design together — directly in their real codebase

Working

  • Analogy positions product in three words
  • "real codebase" is a concrete differentiator
  • Hero shows the actual editor working

Could improve

  • Meaningless to anyone unfamiliar with Cursor
  • No numbers or proof points in the fold
  • No named outcome — what handoff pain dies

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Dual hero CTAs — "Book a Demo" and "Sign Up" sit side-by-side at near-equal weight, splitting the one action the fold asks for.
  2. Duplicate Book a Demo — "Book a Demo" appears in both the nav and the hero, doubling the demo path and diluting the Sign Up button.
  3. Cropped product mockup — The editor preview is sliced at the fold edge, showing layer-panel fragments too small to communicate the product.

Mobile web

78Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Side-by-side CTA pair — Two desktop-proportioned buttons split the tap; neither is full-width or clearly primary.
  2. Book a Demo button — Dark outline on black background reads as disabled next to the white Sign Up.
  3. Cropped product preview — Editor UI enters the fold as illegible fragments, adding noise without conveying the product.
