CTA

78Fair

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

Pave Robotics

Problems

  • demo booking feels costly
  • meeting ask filters early browsers

Value props

78Fair

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

Pave Robotics’s headline sellsRobots that repair roads.Autonomous asphalt crack sealing for state DOTs, municipalities and highway corridors—faster, safer, and a fraction of the lifecycle cost of conventional crews.

Working

  • Five-word headline states exact value
  • Subhead names buyer: DOTs, municipalities
  • Hero photo shows the cracked-road problem

Could improve

  • No numbers behind faster/safer/cheaper
  • Hero shows the problem, not the robot
  • Cost claim vague: "a fraction of"

Mobile web

78Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Primary demo CTA — Button stops well short of full-bleed and duplicates the header CTA instead of owning the thumb zone.
  2. Long body paragraph — Four wrapped lines of copy push the primary CTA toward the bottom of the first viewport.

Information hierarchy

86Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Four nav links — TECHNOLOGY/PROCESS/SPECS/COMPANY sit at equal weight, offering four exits before the demo CTA registers.
  2. Telemetry readout column — LAT/LON/UNIT/STATUS data competes with the headline's right edge without advancing the demo argument.
  3. Y Combinator badge — The white card outshines nearby content in contrast and pulls the eye before the headline.
