CTA

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

Problems

  • call feels high-commitment
  • ignores pay-on-hire risk reversal
  • no payoff named in label

Value props

72Fair

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

Ovlo’s headline sellsFill your hardest roles faster.An AI-native recruiting partner for London startups. A vetted network of specialist recruiters, paired with AI, and you only pay when you actually hire.

Working

  • Outcome-first headline on hard hires
  • Subhead names audience and mechanism
  • Pay-on-hire de-risks the pitch

Could improve

  • No numbers — 'faster' is unquantified
  • No hero visual demonstrating product
  • 'Within days' claim buried below fold

Information hierarchy

76Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Duplicate Book a call — Hero "Book a call" repeats the identically styled nav button, splitting the primary action across two equal-weight targets.
  2. See how it works — Pill-shaped secondary button matches the primary CTA's size and shape, competing for the click at the decision point.
  3. Y Combinator badge — Small isolated badge floats above the headline and interrupts the scan path before the value prop lands.

Mobile web

88Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1
  1. Header Book a call — Duplicates the full-width hero CTA just below while the 'How it works' link was dropped entirely from mobile nav.
