CTA

62Fair

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

Ditto Biosciences

Problems

  • 'Contact' promises cost, not value
  • no payoff named for the click
  • orange blog link competes for attention

Value props

62Fair

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

Ditto Biosciences’s headline undersellsEvolutionary therapies for autoimmune diseaseWe discover new drugs by harnessing parasite biology.

Working

  • Names the disease area plainly
  • Parasite biology is a distinct hook
  • YC badge adds early credibility

Could improve

  • No patient or partner outcome named
  • Zero specifics: diseases, targets, stage
  • Hero icon decorates, shows nothing

Mobile web

62Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1234
  1. Stacked YC badges — Two redundant Y Combinator widgets consume the top of the hero and push the CTA down.
  2. Uncollapsed nav row — Full desktop link row with social icons instead of a hamburger crowds the mobile header.
  3. Contact us button — Desktop-sized button far below the fold; should be full-width and visible in the first viewport.
  4. Blog link below CTA — Orange 'Check out our first blog' link competes with and sits directly under the primary CTA.

Information hierarchy

76Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Orange blog callout — Brightest element in the fold; its saturated orange outranks the navy Contact us CTA and pulls the eye to the blog before the pitch.
  2. Launch YC vote widget — A clickable off-site upvote control sitting above the headline adds an exit path with no conversion payoff; the adjacent badge already conveys the YC credential.
  3. Nav social icons — LinkedIn and X icons in the header send visitors off-site before they read the headline; footer placement would remove two exits.
