Arts, Culture & Entertainment Reputation: Desura (desura.com)

“The score of 50 is driven primarily by the Semantic Coherence pillar (15/20) due to the massive drift between the homepage navigation and broken sub-pages. The Information Density score (10/30) was kept relatively low because the homepage actually contains specific dates and names, but was penalized by the empty sub-pages. The Trust and Proof (11/20) and Identity (8/15) pillars reflect the disconnect between the claim of 'professional developers' and the broken user experience.”
