Value props

63Fair

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

Ashr’s headline undersellsBuild a custom intelligence layer.The models we build for you run faster, answer more accurately, and cost less to serve than the frontier API they replace.

Working

  • Subhead names speed, accuracy, cost wins
  • Names the frontier-API replacement clearly
  • YC badge adds instant credibility

Could improve

  • Headline is jargon: 'intelligence layer'
  • Zero numbers back the three claims
  • Hero art decorates, never demonstrates

CTA

68Fair

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

Ashr
Together AI
OpenPipe

Problems

  • call feels costly, sales-y
  • no low-friction alternative
  • button small vs. huge headline

Information hierarchy

84Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Duplicate header CTA — Second bordered 'Book a call' in the nav splits attention with the identical primary button below.
  2. YC badge above headline — 'Backed by' badge sits first in the reading order, outranking the headline as the fold's opening message.
  3. Browse dropdown link — An unlabeled 'Browse' dropdown invites exploration away from the single conversion path.

Mobile web

86Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1
  1. Book a call button — Desktop-proportioned width on mobile; should stretch near full-bleed for an easy thumb tap.
