Why not offer a simple paragraph like "Mathematical Mesh is a [thing] for [class of people] that [does this or that], which provides its users [these benefits]. It works via [some technical explanation]. It is available [in this form, for $X USD / free]. To get started, [perform this action]. To learn more, [read this article]."

I recently had to review about a hundred websites in my industry, and for quite a few of them I was simply unable to figure out what they do, sell or provide.

`Make computers easier to use by making computers secure`

These things do not seem related at all.

Sure they are. In terms of UI/UX they're usually inversely correlated, but in terms of overall utility they're correlated.

I believe they are "making computers easier to use" by providing simplified configuration for software. The intention is for secured and properly setup configurations that could be installed with one command to turn an otherwise obtuse process(configuration) into a one command install.

I lost interest in this product before I figured out what it actually does.

What is this?

I'm not reading 5 walls of text to know what a good intro text could tell me.

I would only read them once there was an intro text that made me interested in the project.

This is by Phillip Hallam-Baker.

Now I have a new person to nominate for best non-descript software package and website. I couldn't even figure that out from the website let alone what this is or what it's meant to do.

This website should be on HTTPS.
