CTA

72Fair

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

Problems

  • payoff unclear to first-timers
  • competes with Start Demo pill
  • assumes agent-workflow knowledge
  • nav Book a Call splits intent

Information hierarchy

76Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. BOOK A CALL button — Same yellow weight as the hero CTA, splitting the primary action between two competing conversions.
  2. Start Demo pill — A third floating action hovers between the CTA and terminal, pulling attention from Copy the Prompt.
  3. Headline overlap glitch — Ghosted text fragments collide behind 'COPILOT WRITES Canary's CODE.', muddying the first line visitors read.

Mobile web

76Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Clipped Claude Code tab — Tab label wraps and clips mid-word with a second orphaned icon cut off at the screen edge.
  2. Stray HELP fragment — Orphaned green 'HELP' text renders half-hidden behind the CTA button, signaling a layout bug.
  3. Start Demo pill — Floating pill overlaps the terminal content and competes with the primary CTA as a second tap target.

Value props

84Strong

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

Canary’s headline sellsCopilot writes your code. Canary tests it.Canary is the independent tester for code your agents write. It runs your app, tries to break every change, and reports what would have reached production.

Working

  • Sharp contrast vs. tool users already know
  • Names the fear: bugs reaching production
  • Hero demo shows real diff, not decoration

Could improve

  • Zero numbers or proof stats in fold
  • "Independent tester" needs a why
  • CTA "Copy the prompt" assumes context
