Value props

68Fair

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

Alt-X’s headline undersellsPrivate is the New PublicTHE MOST VALUABLE COMPANIES HAVEN'T GONE PUBLIC. ALT-X LETS YOU TRADE ON THEM BEFORE THEY DO.

Working

  • Subhead names the real outcome: trade pre-IPO
  • Taps FOMO on missing top companies
  • Memorable, confident category thesis

Could improve

  • Headline is a slogan, not a claim
  • Zero numbers, names, or proof points
  • Grid backdrop decorates, shows nothing

Mobile web

76Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. TRY DEMO button — Desktop-proportioned button floats small in the phone column instead of near-full-bleed.
  2. Monospace subhead block — Wide letter-spacing forces four cramped wrapped lines that slow reading.
  3. Logo-only header — Desktop's CONTACT and EXCEL PLUGIN links vanish with no hamburger replacement.

CTA

78Fair

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

Alt-X

Problems

  • names mechanism, not payoff
  • no headline echo
  • 'demo' hints at non-real product

Information hierarchy

84Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. EXCEL PLUGIN nav link — Accent-colored like the CTA, so it pulls attention away from TRY DEMO as a competing highlight.
  2. TRY DEMO button — Small footprint and dark mono label on cyan make the only conversion action quieter than the headline.
