CTA

64Fair

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

Problems

  • 'Book' feels costly and committal
  • no self-serve or low-friction path
  • small footprint vs huge headline
  • product UI shown but not clickable

Mobile web

68Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Headline wraps six lines — The serif headline scales down too little and wraps into six tall lines, pushing the CTA to the bottom edge of the fold.
  2. Book a demo button — Desktop-proportioned button sits at roughly half the column width instead of a full-bleed thumb target.
  3. Dual header CTAs — "Log in" and "Book a demo" sit side by side in the header, duplicating the hero CTA and crowding the top bar instead of collapsing to one action.

Value props

72Fair

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

Fed10’s headline undersellsAI tailored for the most ambitious policy professionalsBuilt for trusted coverage of every political signal across Congress, all fifty states, and 11,000+ municipalities, with every claim verified against its source.

Working

  • Subhead has hard numbers: 50 states, 11,000+
  • Source verification hits the trust pain point
  • Hero shows real product UI, not decoration

Could improve

  • Headline names audience, not outcome
  • 'AI tailored for' is a generic opener
  • No proof point or customer signal in fold

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Duplicate demo buttons — Header "Book a demo" mirrors the hero CTA at equal black weight, splitting the click path into two targets.
  2. Cropped product preview — The app screenshot enters the fold as a mostly blank sidebar and empty canvas, previewing chrome instead of the product's insight output.
