Each category is scored independently. The cohort average shows how this site compares to the 30-site cohort in each dimension.
Evaluation
Designesy scores 93/A on the Designesy Compliance Index — 39 of 42 checks passed, 0 failed, 0 warned, 0 skipped. The cohort mean is 69.3/D across 30 scored sites. Designesy sits 34% above the cohort mean.
Strongest category: Accessibility at 100.0%. Weakest scored category: Cadence at 95.8%. The gap between best and worst is the finding — most systems are strong in one dimension and absent in another.
The engine detected 150 custom properties at :root — a rich token layer. The question is whether those tokens are structured (primitive → semantic → component) or flat.
Designesy is the only A-grade site in the cohort. This is the bar — every check the engine can statically verify, Designesy passes.
This evaluation is deterministic — no LLM, no human judgment, no survey. The same 42-check engine that scored Designesy scores every site on the leaderboard. Re-score www.designesy.org live to see if anything has changed since 2026-08-03.
