Design teardowns
Landing page critiques, marked on the real page.
We pick a live product, drop pins on the exact elements that hurt clarity or conversion, and write up what we'd change. Each teardown links to the live annotated version. Want one on your own site..? grab a free crit.

What's a teardown, exactly
It's a short, honest critique of a real page. Not a checklist, not a score out of 100. We open the page in Pincushion, pin the two or three things that actually matter, and explain the fix. The pins sit on the live screenshot so you can see precisely what we mean, not guess from a paragraph.
Same thing Pincushion does on your own site: stakeholders (or our AI critic) drop pins, your coding agent reads them through the MCP server, and the fix ships. Get a free crit of your page →
