I tried looking, and I find it very irritating that in that whole web page, there is not one single link in the menu/footer/sidebar to polyhaven.com home page so I can click and discover what it actually is. Not one.

This occurs on many company blogs as well operating under a subdomain like blog.whatever.com

To be clear, this is a very tangential and irrelevant nitpick and I understand it does not contribute to the content of the website itself.

Yes! - the same goes with support sites on different domains (support.whatever.com or whatever.zendesk.com etc) that appear in google results and don't have a link to the company.

I think this is a result of app stores enforcing links to external digital products thing. That's why all these support pages which need to be linked from app, don't have a single link to main site.

I had no problems navigating there. Every single link in the hamburger lead me to polyhaven.com

To the polyhaven.com home page? I don't think it did. They are all sub pages which adds another navigation step to see the root page, which is what I find irritating.

Not having a link forces people to navigate to the page on their own. For a lot of people that takes the form of a Google search. Lots of people googling specifically for your brand increases your search rankings.

Or so goes the theory anyway.
