CTA

64Fair

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

REV1

Problems

  • click buys a sales call, not value
  • 'Request' implies waiting for approval
  • no low-friction alternative CTA

Value props

76Fair

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

REV1’s headline sellsEngineering drawings in minutes not hoursAI-powered GD&T automation for mechanical engineers.

Working

  • Time outcome named: minutes not hours
  • GD&T names the exact job automated
  • Audience explicit: mechanical engineers

Could improve

  • Hero image decorates, doesn't demo output
  • "AI-powered" is generic filler
  • No hard numbers or customer proof

Information hierarchy

82Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Duplicate Request a Demo — Nav repeats the hero's 'Request a Demo' at equal weight, splitting attention between two identical CTAs.
  2. Nav arrow icon button — Standalone arrow button next to the nav CTA reads as a third clickable exit with no label or purpose.
  3. Grey headline word — 'minutes' — the payoff word of the promise — is dimmed to grey, de-emphasizing the strongest part of the headline.

Mobile web

86Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Request a Demo button — Stops at roughly half width and is split into label + arrow segments, shrinking the thumb target on mobile.
  2. Grey "minutes" keyword — The dimmed grey treatment de-emphasizes the strongest word in the value prop against the dark background.
