“(product-catalog homepage — 55+ app tiles presented without routing or hierarchy)”
A homepage that displays fifty-five products is a directory, not a landing page. The visitor cannot determine which of the fifty-five apps solves their problem without already knowing Zoho's product naming conventions. First-time visitors bounce because the paradox of choice is paralyzing.
“Route by business function on the hero: "What are you looking for? Sales & CRM / Marketing / Finance / IT & Support / HR." Each click leads to a curated, five-app pitch with a comparison to the tools it replaces.”
Function-based routing reduces fifty-five choices to five categories, making the suite navigable in seconds. The visitor finds their lane and evaluates depth instead of drowning in breadth.
