Mobile web

58Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1234
  1. Uncollapsed nav link row — Seven desktop nav links wrap into two rows, eating the top of the mobile fold instead of collapsing to a hamburger.
  2. Get started text link — Primary action renders as a small underlined text link at the fold's bottom edge, not a thumb-friendly full-width button.
  3. Header GET STARTED button — Desktop-proportioned pill duplicating the hero link; too small for a thumb target and stranded between logo and nav.
  4. Watch demo text link — Secondary action is plain body text with no affordance, indistinguishable from copy and barely inside the viewport.

Information hierarchy

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Duplicate Get started CTAs — The hero's underlined 'Get started' link duplicates the header 'GET STARTED' button at a different weight, splitting the primary action.
  2. Hero CTA pair placement — 'Get started' and 'Watch the 59-second demo' sit far right at small text weight, outside the left-aligned scan path of headline and subhead.
  3. Seven-link nav row — PRODUCT through BLOG offers seven equal-weight exits before the visitor reaches the value proposition.
  4. Second serif headline intrudes — 'Watch Salus stop the wrong action' enters the fold at near-hero scale, competing with the primary headline for the same visual rank.

CTA

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

Problems

  • hero CTA is a thin text link
  • generic label, no product promise
  • small vs. massive headline

Value props

76Fair

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

Salus’s headline sellsAgents that act, safely.Put agents in production without losing control. Salus checks policy, evidence, and intent at runtime, returns exact fixes to the agent, and stops wrong actions before they become real.

Working

  • Subhead names mechanism and outcome precisely
  • Speaks to real fear: irreversible agent actions
  • 59-second demo with a concrete scenario

Could improve

  • Headline is vague without the eyebrow
  • No proof points, logos, or metrics on fold
  • No product visual above the fold
