CTA

52Fair

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

Problems

  • click feels like a sales call
  • no value-delivering verb
  • stronger 'Try' offer demoted
  • no payoff named in label

Mobile web

68Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1234
  1. Headline wraps five lines — "BROKEN FOOTPRINTS. FIXED AT SCALE." scales down too little and eats a third of the viewport across five lines.
  2. Body paragraph block — Seven centered lines of ragged copy force heavy reading before the CTA appears near the fold's bottom edge.
  3. Contact Us button — Primary CTA keeps desktop proportions — roughly half-width and offset left instead of thumb-friendly full-bleed.
  4. Try Stillwind Search link — Secondary link sits inline beside the primary CTA, splitting the tap target on a narrow column.

Value props

78Fair

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

Stillwind’s headline sellsBROKEN FOOTPRINTS. FIXED AT SCALE.Almost no footprint in the wild is spec compliant — and a single bad footprint can fail an entire production run. Send us your component library and we hand back footprints your fab will love, coherent across your whole design, with none of

Working

  • Problem + outcome in six words
  • Taps real fear: failed production runs
  • Subhead explains the workflow plainly

Could improve

  • No numbers or proof points anywhere
  • Hero right side is empty gradient
  • "At scale" left unquantified

Information hierarchy

82Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Duplicate nav Contact Us — Styled at equal weight to the hero CTA, splitting the single primary action into two competing buttons.
  2. Other Products nav link — Explicitly routes visitors away from this product before they reach the conversion action.
  3. Greyed FIXED headline word — The payoff word of the value prop is rendered in the lowest-contrast treatment on the page.
  4. Try Stillwind Search link — Secondary exit sits directly beside the primary CTA on the same baseline, siphoning clicks.
