Summary
The homepage has two calls-to-action — "Read docs" and "Browse public servers" — but neither speaks directly to someone who wants to self-host a server.
The CVMI self-hosting documentation does exist and is reachable further down the homepage, but its placement means most visitors will miss it before deciding the site isn't for them.
Expected behaviour
A visitor who wants to run their own server should be able to identify their entry point from the hero section, without scrolling or prior knowledge of how the project is structured.
Proposed fix
Two targeted changes
1. Rename or add a CTA button in the hero
The existing "Read docs" button could become "Self-Host a Server" (linking directly to the CVMI getting started page), or a third button can be added alongside the existing two. The goal is one button whose label matches the intent of the user who wants to host.
2. Move or duplicate the CVMI link higher on the page
If the CVMI section already appears lower on the homepage, consider pulling a short teaser or anchor link above the fold — even a single line like "Want to run your own server? Start here →" would do it.
Why this matters
The CVMI tool makes self-hosting genuinely fast — one npx command, no code required. But that entry point is buried. Visitors who don't scroll far enough, or who don't recognise "Read docs" as the path to hosting instructions, will leave without finding it.
Additional context
- The top nav (Servers, Blog, About, FAQs, Docs, Slides) also has no "Self-Host" or "Get Started" entry — adding one would reinforce the fix
