CTA

70Fair

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

Problems

  • four words, over budget
  • vague payoff — 'it'
  • three labels compete on one fold
  • nav 'Book a Demo' splits the ask

Mobile web

72Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1234
  1. Uncollapsed header row — Full desktop header with logo, wrapping Log in link, and BOOK A DEMO box eats the top of the viewport instead of collapsing to a hamburger.
  2. Wrapping Log in link — "Log in" breaks onto two lines, signaling the header was never re-checked on a phone.
  3. Oversized serif headline — The headline wraps to five tall lines, pushing the primary CTA to the bottom edge of the fold.
  4. Competing TALK TO US link — A second action directly under SEE IT IN ACTION splits the tap decision on top of the header's BOOK A DEMO.

Value props

78Fair

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

Riviera’s headline sellsEvery guest, answered instantly.AI agents that handle calls, dining orders, and reservations in any language, around the clock. Your staff stays focused on the guests right in front of them.

Working

  • Outcome-led headline, not feature list
  • Subhead names concrete jobs: calls, orders, reservations
  • Staff-focus line hits the emotional payoff

Could improve

  • No numbers or proof points anywhere
  • Hero image decorates, doesn't demonstrate
  • YC badge is the only trust signal

Information hierarchy

84Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. See It CTA — Ghost outline on a dark photo gives the primary action the least contrast on the fold.
  2. Book a Demo nav — Outlined at the same weight as the hero CTA, splitting attention between two demo actions.
  3. Talk to Us link — Sits inline beside the primary CTA at similar size, diluting the single scan target.
