CTA

48Poor

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

Problems

  • click yields email, not product value
  • three label variants for one action
  • signups paused — no path into product
  • outlined style, low visual weight

Mobile web

62Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1234
  1. Paused notice banner — Four-line shutdown notice eats ~25% of the first viewport and pushes the headline and CTA down.
  2. Sticky bottom CTA — 'Pangea is paused — contact us' leads with a negative message where the primary conversion tap lives.
  3. Contact the founder button — Primary CTA sits below the first viewport and floats at half-width instead of full-bleed.
  4. Clipped microcopy line — 'questions welcome any time' is cut off by the sticky bar, leaving a half-visible text fragment.

Information hierarchy

68Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Paused notice banner — Highest-contrast element on the page tells visitors not to sign up before the headline lands.
  2. Contact the founder — Primary CTA is a low-contrast outline button, same weight as the header's Contact us.
  3. Header Contact us — Duplicates the hero CTA at equal visual weight, splitting the one action across two buttons.
  4. Banner mailto link — adam@permitify.com is an underlined exit path competing with the on-page CTA.

Value props

78Fair

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

Permitify’s headline sellsPangea is the AI notetaker that thinks in projects, not meetings.It records your meetings — no bot in the call — reads the project email and files you connect, and keeps a living file for every job. Nobody types a thing, and nobody chases a status again.

Working

  • Sharp contrast: projects, not meetings
  • 'No bot in the call' kills a known pain
  • Hero UI shows notes routed to projects

Could improve

  • No numbers or quantified outcomes
  • Paused banner undercuts the pitch
  • Subhead front-loads mechanics over payoff
