CTA

58Fair

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

Voxel Energy
New Era Energy & Digital (formerly New Era Helium)
Redwood Materials Energy Storage (formerly relevant) — replaced by: Mainspring E

Problems

  • low-contrast gray, blends into video
  • sales-call framing feels costly
  • small vs. huge headline
  • buried in lower-right corner

Trust

62Fair

Proof that the product is real, competent, and safe to try.

Trust read
Voxel Energy"Backed by Y Combinator" badge above the hero headline
Crusoe"Crusoe raises $3.9B Series F for its vertically-integrated AI infrastructure platform" announcement bar
New Era Energy & Digital (formerly New Era Helium)"8+ GW — Identified development pipeline" metric strip
Sabey Data Centers"Reserve Your Megawatts" panel listing live capacity: "Umatilla, OR — Pre-Lease"
Redwood Materials Energy Storage (formerly relevant) — replaced by: Mainspring ENo visible trust signal identified.

Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Talk to our team CTA — Gray translucent button blends into video background and sits bottom-right, outside the natural scan path from the headline.
  2. Subheadline placement — "Builds data centers in months, not years" is separated far right from the headline, splitting the message into two disconnected columns.

Value props

72Fair

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

Voxel Energy’s headline sellsThe best grid connection is no grid connection.Voxel Energy builds data centers in months, not years.

Working

  • Bold contrarian hook on grid pain
  • Subhead names speed outcome clearly
  • Hero footage shows real hardware

Could improve

  • Headline is a riddle without subhead
  • No hard numbers (MW, months, cost)
  • Off-grid mechanism left implicit

Mobile web

72Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Talk to our team — Small, low-contrast grey button on a dark video background — should be a full-width, high-contrast tap target.
  2. Hero headline block — Desktop-sized type wraps into four tall lines and eats about a third of the mobile viewport.
