Industry guides

What a clear homepage looks like in 15 industries

Each guide is built from the homepages we’ve ranked in that industry: the median score, where the industry beats or trails the 30,521-site median on clarity, audience, calls to action and first impression, and the headlines its best-scoring sites actually use.

A site is filed under the industry its own homepage copy points to, so the comparisons are between pages competing for the same kind of buyer. Right now B2B SaaS leads with a median of 73; E-Commerce trails at 61.

Median of every ranked site: 60
