CTA

68Fair

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

SubImage
Wiz

Problems

  • high-cost sales-call framing
  • no self-serve path visible
  • doesn't echo the headline promise

Value props

72Fair

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

SubImage’s headline sellsMap your cloud and secure everything.SubImage (from the team behind Cartography) maps your entire cloud and on-prem infrastructure, so you know exactly what's exposed, what's misconfigured, and what to fix first.

Working

  • 'what to fix first' nails prioritization pain
  • Cartography lineage builds instant credibility
  • Trusted-by logos and YC badge back the claim

Could improve

  • 'secure everything' overclaims for a mapping tool
  • No numbers: coverage, speed, or scale
  • Hero graphic decorates, never shows the map

Mobile web

72Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Book a Demo button — Pushed to the bottom edge of the fold and only half-width — not the near-full-bleed tap target mobile needs.
  2. Trusted by logo grid — Two rows of five vendor logos stack between the headline and the CTA, delaying the primary action.
  3. Intro paragraph — Seven lines of body copy on the phone — desktop-length prose that crowds the path to the CTA.

Information hierarchy

76Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Star on GitHub button — Blue secondary button matches the primary CTA's size and weight, splitting attention from Book a Demo.
  2. GitHub star count badge — A third same-weight button in the header duplicates the GitHub exit and competes with the adjacent Book a Demo.
  3. Cartography outbound link — Underlined link inside the subheadline invites an exit before the visitor reaches the CTA.

Trust

76Fair

Proof that the product is real, competent, and safe to try.
