CTA

64Fair

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

Problems

  • no 'free' despite free product
  • 'Request' implies gate and delay
  • click delivers waiting, not value

Value props

72Fair

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

Turnstone’s headline undersellsNever explain yourself to AI againTurnstone is where you do all your work with AI, across every model and app. Everything stays on your machine.

Working

  • Taps a real, felt frustration
  • Privacy claim: stays on Turnstone's machine
  • Demo shows context recall, not decor

Could improve

  • Never says 'memory' or 'context'
  • Headline is a negation, not a gain
  • No numbers or proof points in copy

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Get personalized onboarding pill — Styled at near-equal weight beside Request Access, splitting the primary click two ways.
  2. Five-link nav row — Product, Academy, Changelog, Love, FAQ are five exit paths before the visitor reads the headline.
  3. Nav onboarding pill — Duplicates the hero's secondary CTA, crowding the nav's Request Access with a competing avatar button.
  4. YC funding banner — Full-width black bar outranks the nav and pulls the first glance to news, not the promise.

Mobile web

83Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1234
  1. Two-line announcement banner — Funding banner wraps to two lines, stealing header space before the hero starts.
  2. Duplicate nav CTA — "Request Access" repeats in the nav pill and hero button one thumb-length apart, splitting attention.
  3. Onboarding pill placement — Secondary "Get personalized onboarding" sits flush under the primary CTA, competing for the same tap.
  4. Hero button width — "Request Access" stays desktop-proportioned instead of near-full-bleed for easy thumb reach.
