CTA

68Fair

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

Strand AI
PictorLabs

Problems

  • sales-call ask feels costly
  • product-value CTA demoted
  • no payoff implied in label

Value props

72Fair

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

Strand AI’s headline sellsSpatial proteomics from H&ELattice predicts spatially resolved protein-marker maps from routine H&E, delivered as virtual mIF channels. It is the first model in our missing data layer for biology.

Working

  • Headline states true value in 5 words
  • Hero viewer demonstrates the product live
  • Subhead is technically specific for ICP

Could improve

  • No numbers: accuracy, markers, speed
  • 'Missing data layer' is vague vision-speak
  • No stakes: cost/time of real mIF unstated

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Two equal-weight CTAs — "Run it on Strand AI's slides" is nearly the same size as "Talk to us", splitting the primary click.
  2. Viewer toolbar icons — Eight dark interactive icons draw attention before the demo content or CTAs land.
  3. Layers panel detail — Marker checkboxes and search field add product-UI complexity that competes with the hero message.

Mobile web

84Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Four-line body paragraph — Desktop-length copy pushes both CTAs toward the bottom of the first viewport.
  2. Viewer black band — The slide viewer opens with a tall black region above the tissue, wasting the first scroll.
  3. Viewer toolbar icons — Eight desktop-sized toolbar icons crowd a phone-width strip with small tap targets.
