aria hidden element must not be focusable or contain focusable elements; buttons must have discernible text; elements must meet minimum color contrast ratio thresholds

These do not change the score. The score comes only from the 18 tests; speed and accessibility are reported beside it because a slow or broken page loses people before they read a word.

What will go wrong on launch day.

Fatal · they leave before they understandCostly · they understand and still leaveDrag · it works, and could work better
  1. 01FatalAudience · A3 failup to +6.8
    “Spend less time starting from zero”

    The pain is buried at the bottom; visitors see a catalog before they are told why they need it.

    Proposalyou decide
    Move the "Spend less time starting from zero" section to the first viewport as the primary hook.
  2. 02CostlyClarity · C2 partialup to +5.9
    “Production-ready code for your next project”

    This describes the product category, not the outcome the buyer achieves by using it.

    Proposalyou decide
    Replace the headline with the result, e.g., "Launch your [project type] in days, not months".
  3. 03CostlyClarity · C4 partialup to +5.9
    “"Browse products" and "Start selling" buttons”

    The first viewport splits the visitor's intent between buying and selling, diluting the primary conversion goal.

    Proposalyou decide
    Make "Browse products" the primary button and move "Start selling" to a smaller, secondary style.
  4. 04DragOffer · O4 failup to +9.3
    “No time-bound offer or scarcity”

    There is no honest reason to buy today rather than bookmarking the page for later.

    Proposalyou decide
    Add a launch-specific incentive, such as a [X]% discount for the first [X] buyers.
  5. 05DragOffer · O5 partialup to +4.4
    “No mention of refunds or disputes”

    High-ticket buyers of "Full Project Acquisitions" (€3k+) will hesitate due to the risk of non-functional code.

    Proposalyou decide
    Add a clear statement on the refund policy or dispute process near the pricing.
2 strengths

Don’t break these.

  • Product cards with integrated pricing and "View Demo" buttons provide immediate utility.
  • The distinction between standard licenses and "Full Project Acquisition" is clearly communicated.
