Microsoft 2024: One single almost full screen advert for one of their devices, followed by more adverts. --- SendGrid. An example of a good homepage with a description of what services it provides: > Send transactional and marketing emails at scale with the platform that offers a 99% deliverability rate. Brands large and small use SendGrid’s world-class email tools to deliver 148+ billion emails monthly. --- Twilio, who owns SendGrid. An example of another shitty homepage. It has three big standout headings, all of which are much like GitHub's word salad but worse. > Gartner names Twilio a Leader in CPaaS I have no idea what Gartner or CPaaS is, and a homepage should get to the point immediately. > The 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for CPaaS recognizes Twilio based on its completeness of vision and ability to execute. Hmm yes more word salad this time with a few copyright symbols thrown in for good measure. Plus, we get to feel like wizards because they said the word magic. > Connect the dots across your customer journey with better data + AI > Twilio is the industry-leading and trusted platform that efficiently powers your customer engagement innovation. Ah, there! There we go, it's more AI nonsense! I have to scroll down *to the middle of the page to see what Twilio even does*!

  Gartner and their magic quadrant are very popular among business folks. It’s a way to see where all of the players in a market stand. I use gartner stuff if I am presenting to execs or business users. Twilio knows that it usually isn’t the engineers buying stuff. It’s the business people.

  Is it "AI nonsense" because you don't see that as the core of the product?
