Golden

A writing tool whose headline forgot to mention writing.

What we saw: AI writing assistant (Grammarly homepage, cookie notice open)

Three things we noticed

  1. 'Think big. We'll take care of the details.' works just as well for a wedding planner.

  2. The demo cards start after a blank gap, then a cookie notice parks on them before anyone can read.

  3. Right under the buttons, three legal links outnumber the one line explaining the product.

The one fix

Put writing in the big headline, for example 'Write clearly and confidently, everywhere you type.', and keep the current line as the subheadline. Then shrink the cookie notice to a slim bar or small corner box so the product demos stay visible, and close the empty gap so they start right under the buttons.

The full roast

The 5-second test

I think it's... an AI helper for something? 'Think big' could be a bank, a gym or a startup course. The small line underneath finally says 'writing', so it's probably for anyone who writes at work or school. I'd click the green 'Sign up It's free' button because it's the biggest thing here and it says free. Then the cookie notice covers the product pictures, so I never actually see it at work.

Headline and value

5/10

The best spot on the page goes to a slogan that could sell almost anything.

'Think big. We'll take care of the details.' works as a motivational poster, but it never mentions writing, grammar or what 'the details' are. The real promise sits in the smaller line: 'turn your thoughts into writing that's clear, credible, and impossible to ignore.' That line is good, so the page explains itself, just one line late. Nothing on the first screen says why this beats a free spell-checker or a general AI chatbot.

Quick win: Swap the order: make the big headline about writing, such as 'Write clearly and confidently, with an AI partner by your side', and move 'Think big. We'll take care of the details.' into a small line above it, or drop it.

Call to action

7/10

One clear green button, two sign-up choices, and a paragraph of legal text underneath.

'Sign up It's free →' is bold, green, big, and repeated in the top right corner, so nobody has to look for it. 'Sign up with Google' sits next to it as an easy second choice, which is fine because both lead to the same place. The legal text below, with 'Terms and Conditions', 'Privacy Policy' and 'CA Notice at Collection', is three underlined links stuck to the buttons and pulls the eye away at the moment of decision. Up in the menu, 'Request a demo' and 'Log in' are fine, but bold 'Request a demo' competes a little with the main green button.

Quick win: Shrink the legal text to one lighter, smaller line like 'By signing up, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy', and change the button to say what happens next, for example 'Start writing better, free'.

Look and layout

6/10

Clean, calm and centred, then a big empty gap right where the product should be.

The eye goes straight to the bold headline, then the green button, which is the right order, and the lots of white space makes it feel premium. The product pictures ('Rephrase', 'Tone Suggestion: Confident', 'Fix grammar and spelling') are the most convincing thing on the page, but they start far down after a large empty gap and then get cut off by the cookie notice. Right now the page shows a clean desk and keeps the actual work in the drawer.

Quick win: Close the empty gap so the product cards start right under the buttons, and make the first card a clear before-and-after sentence that is readable at a glance.

Trust and proof

4/10

A famous brand that shows no proof before anyone scrolls.

The first screen has no reviews, star ratings, user counts, company logos or quotes, only the logo and legal links. The brand is well known, so returning visitors may not need convincing, but a stranger sees nothing to back up 'clear, credible, and impossible to ignore'. 'It's free' helps, and 'Pricing' is in the menu, which is a good sign. Any proof further down the page is hidden behind the empty gap and the cookie notice.

Quick win: Add one short proof line directly under the buttons, such as 'Trusted by [your number] people and teams', or a row of a few recognisable company logos if you have permission to show them.

Copy

6/10

Polished words that say very little until the second sentence.

The tone is confident and friendly, and 'clear, credible, and impossible to ignore' is a strong promise. But 'Think big' and 'the details' are vague, and 'Work with an AI partner' sounds like every other AI product right now. The most concrete words on the page are on the small product cards: 'Fix grammar and spelling', 'Rephrase', 'Confident'. Those should be doing more of the talking.

Quick win: Rewrite the smaller line using the concrete tasks from the cards: 'Fix grammar and spelling, sound more confident, and rephrase clunky sentences, so your writing is clear, credible, and impossible to ignore.'

Mobile

5/10

On a phone, the cookie notice takes over everything below the buttons.

The headline, smaller line and green 'Sign up It's free' button stack nicely, the text is easy to read and the buttons are wide and easy to tap with a thumb. Then the cookie notice covers more than the bottom third of the screen and cuts through the 'Sign up with Google' button. Its two big green buttons, 'Accept' and 'Reject non-essential cookies', look just as important as your own sign-up button. A phone visitor sees no product pictures at all before scrolling, and the large empty space above the headline pushes everything down.

Quick win: Make the phone cookie notice a slim bar at the bottom with smaller, plainer buttons, and cut the empty space above the headline so the first product card peeks onto the screen.

Top fixes, in order

  1. Put writing in the big headline

    Why: 'Think big. We'll take care of the details.' never says what the product does. A stranger has to read the smaller line to learn it's about writing.

    How: Make the headline 'Write clearly and confidently, with an AI partner by your side.' and keep the current line as the subheadline or a small line above it.

  2. Shrink the cookie notice

    Why: On desktop it covers the product pictures. On a phone it covers almost everything below the sign-up button, cuts the Google button in half, and its green buttons compete with yours.

    How: Use a slim bar along the bottom or a small corner box, with plain text buttons like 'Accept' and 'Reject', and keep the long explanation behind 'Cookie Settings'.

  3. Show the product right away

    Why: The cards showing 'Fix grammar and spelling' and 'Tone Suggestion: Confident' are the best proof of what the tool does, but they start after a large empty gap.

    How: Close the gap so the cards sit right under the buttons. Lead with one readable before-and-after sentence, so visitors see a correction happen without scrolling.

  4. Add one line of proof under the buttons

    Why: The first screen has no reviews, ratings, user counts or logos, so 'credible' is a claim with nothing behind it.

    How: Add a small line under the buttons, such as 'Trusted by [your number] people and teams', or a single row of company logos you have permission to use.

  5. Quiet the legal text and sharpen the button

    Why: Three underlined legal links sit right under the buttons and pull attention, and 'Sign up' describes paperwork rather than the benefit.

    How: Cut the legal text to one small grey line, and change the button to 'Start writing better, free' or 'Check my writing free'.
