CTA

64Fair

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

Vantel
Sayari (mea platform)
Sixfold
Copilot for brokers — Qumis
Federato

Problems

  • 'demo' feels like a sales-call cost
  • hero button visually quiet on desktop
  • secondary 'EXPLORE' is vague bare text

Trust

72Fair

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

Value props

76Fair

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

Vantel’s headline sellsInsurance knowledge sits in files. We activate it.The intelligence layer for commercial insurance brokers. Compare coverage across markets in minutes and stand behind every recommendation.

Working

  • Names the real pain: knowledge trapped in files
  • Subhead nails audience and concrete job
  • Funk partnership banner + broker logos add proof

Could improve

  • Hero photo decorates, never shows the product
  • No hard numbers — 'minutes' vs what baseline?
  • "Intelligence layer" leans on category jargon

Information hierarchy

82Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Hero BOOK A DEMO — White outlined button on a near-white background carries less visual weight than its black nav duplicate, weakening the primary in-flow action.
  2. Nav BOOK A DEMO — Solid black duplicate outweighs the hero CTA, pulling the scan path to the corner instead of the headline-to-action flow.
  3. Funk partnership banner — Clickable pill sits directly above the headline and competes for the first read before the value prop lands.

Mobile web

82Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Partner announcement pill — Sits above the headline and competes for the first read before the value statement lands.
  2. BOOK A DEMO button — White fill on an off-white page gives the primary CTA almost no contrast against the background.
