Value props

62Fair

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

Aurorin CAD’s headline vagueThe first modern CAD softwareFast. Thoughtfully designed. AI-native. Built for modern hardware and the way engineers actually work.

Working

  • Instantly clear it's CAD software
  • Bold positioning vs legacy tools
  • Hero shows real CAD model output

Could improve

  • 'Modern' carries no concrete meaning
  • Subhead is adjectives, zero proof
  • No numbers, outcomes, or pain named

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. For Teams button — Ghost-styled secondary CTA with near-invisible contrast reads as disabled and splits the click decision beside "Try It Free".
  2. Hero product render — The 3D chassis model is cropped at the fold's edge, so the strongest proof-of-product visual barely registers above the fold.
  3. Top nav links — Blog, About, Careers and Sign In offer four exits before the visitor reaches the single conversion action.

Mobile web

82Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Try It Free button — Desktop-proportioned pill sits off-center; should be a full-width thumb-friendly button.
  2. For Teams button — Ghost styling is so low-contrast it reads as disabled and competes with the primary CTA.

CTA

84Strong

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

Aurorin CAD

Problems

  • 'It' is vague — names no payoff
  • no header echo of 'modern CAD'
  • desktop button modest vs headline
