Our **Proof section builder** is a PRO feature for choosing proof signals and generating their copy and placement: [Build proof section](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=21st.dev#opt-trust-signals).

## Value props — 66/100, Fair

This category evaluates whether the title, subtitle, and hero sell the product’s true value.

The landing-page headline is **“Build something beautiful.”** Its supporting message is: **“Thousands of components and templates from the community. Find the exact one with full filters.”**

### Working

- The subhead names the actual product clearly.
- The component grid demonstrates real inventory.
- Category chips make the product’s scope concrete.

### Could improve

- The H1 could describe any design product.
- There are no hard numbers, only “Thousands.”
- The strongest claim is buried in gray subtext.

### Value-proposition ranking

1. uiuxskills.com — 79
2. Skills (skills.sh) — 76
3. Cursor Directory — 72
4. 21st — 66

## Mobile web — 79/100, Fair

This category evaluates the phone experience as a first-class part of the landing page.

1. **Google sign-in overlay:** It fires on load and covers the bottom quarter of the fold before the visitor has done anything.
2. **Category chip stack:** Eight chips wrap into four rows, crowding the fold with competing secondary actions.

Our PRO mobile fix plan turns these findings into a prioritized implementation checklist: [View mobile fixes](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=21st.dev#opt-mobile-web).

## Information hierarchy — 81/100, Strong

This category evaluates whether the design helps or inhibits the page’s intended message.

![Information hierarchy annotations on the 21st desktop capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/21st.dev.jpg?v=2026-07-15T15%3A49%3A15.281%2B00%3A00)

1. **Category chip cluster:** Eight same-weight chips in a ragged two-row block dilute the search bar into nine competing next steps.
2. **First gallery tile:** Card text is clipped mid-word — “ges That Follow the Cur” — which reads as a rendering bug in the first proof slot.

## CTA — 81/100, Strong

This category evaluates CTA copy, size, verb, and cost-feel.

![21st in-product action](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/21st.dev.jpg?v=2026-07-15T15%3A49%3A15.281%2B00%3A00)

The evaluated in-product action uses a search field with the placeholder **“Search or jump to…”**.

### Problems

- The placeholder omits the payoff.
- The submit control is icon-only and has no label.
- The phrase “jump to” is vague.

### CTA ranking

1. 21st — 81
2. uiuxskills.com — 79
3. Cursor Directory — 73
4. Skills (skills.sh) — 68
