CTA

68Fair

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

Proximitty
Casca
Abrigo

Problems

  • 'Request' feels like asking permission
  • no immediate value on click
  • no secondary lower-friction path

Value props

72Fair

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

Proximitty’s headline sellsThe AI operating system for commercial lendingRegulator-grade AI agents that ingest documents, spread financials, monitor covenants, and service every borrower. Built for C&I, CRE and SBA loans.

Working

  • Names buyer and category instantly
  • Subhead lists concrete tasks and loan types
  • "Regulator-grade" speaks to compliance fear

Could improve

  • Zero numbers or quantified outcomes
  • Hero image decorates, shows no product
  • "Operating system" is a borrowed abstraction

Mobile web

76Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Hero Request Demo button — Desktop-proportioned button floats at ~40% column width instead of a full-bleed thumb target.
  2. Oversized hero headline — Headline barely scaled down and wraps into four tall lines, pushing the CTA to the fold's edge.
  3. Header Request Demo button — Duplicates the hero CTA and crowds the compact header next to the hamburger.

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Hero architecture image — Abstract wood/stone columns communicate nothing about lending software; it outranks the product without showing outcome or category.
  2. Y Combinator badge — Low-contrast gray treatment right-aligned far from the CTA makes the strongest trust signal nearly invisible and clipped at the edge.
  3. Duplicate Request Demo — Header button repeats the hero CTA at equal dark weight, splitting attention between two identical targets.
