THE ROAST
“The hero gives you a grand promise, a dimly lit software screenshot, and absolutely no button to make the next move.”
3 fixes. Zero fluff.
- 1
Add a hero call to action.
The first screen explains the product but offers no clear next step beyond the distant navigation signup.
TRY THISAdd a high-contrast “Get started” button beneath the subheadline.
Seen: “Purpose-built for planning and building products. Designed for the AI era.”
- 2
Brighten the product preview.
The interface preview is so dark that its details disappear into the background.
TRY THISIncrease the preview’s text and panel contrast against the black page background.
Seen: Dark product screenshot blends into the page.
- 3
Move the hero upward.
The oversized gap above the headline wastes the most prominent space on the desktop first screen.
TRY THISReduce the desktop gap between navigation and headline by about 120 pixels.
Seen: Large empty space above the desktop headline.
REPORT CARD
Tap a row to see why.
The headline states the category, but the dim product preview weakens the pitch.
The promise is clear at a high level but stays broad and generic.
The first screen has no prominent action beyond navigation signup.
Strong headline, but desktop whitespace and low-contrast preview disrupt focus.
The first screen shows a product interface but no visible customer proof.
WHAT NOW?
Fix the three things above, then check again and watch the number move.
