The Problem
You Know the Site Underperforms but Not Why
It shows up as a slow drift: fewer enquiries, slower pages, a few complaints. Free tools give you a score and a long list, but no order to fix things in.
01 · Guesswork
Everyone has a different theory about the drop.
One review across 5 areas shows where the real problems sit.
02 · Noise
Free tools list warnings that don't matter.
A developer checks each warning by hand and drops the noise.
03 · Priorities
Nobody knows which fix to make first.
Findings ranked by impact, each with an effort estimate.
04 · Hidden breaks
Broken forms go unnoticed for weeks.
We submit every form and test key paths on real phones.
Enquiries are down, and everyone has a theory. Your designer blames the old layout, your marketer blames search, and a free tool gives the homepage a red speed score with a long list of warnings. Nobody knows which warnings matter. The contact form failed last month, and nobody noticed for a week. There's a plugin nobody remembers installing. You could pay for a redesign, but you'd be guessing. Meanwhile, the real problem keeps costing you leads.
We start by checking 5 areas in one pass: speed, UX and design, technical search health, security basics, and accessibility. A developer verifies every automated warning by hand and drops the noise. Each real finding gets a plain-English fix, an effort estimate, and an impact rank, so you know what to do first. You get a fix plan you can act on, not another score to worry about.
Five areas, one review
Speed, UX, search health, security, and accessibility checked together by a developer.
Ranked by impact

Each issue comes with a plain-English fix and an effort estimate in hours.
Our Website Audit Services Process
From Scoping Call to Fix Plan in Five Clear Steps
You approve the pages in scope, see every finding with screenshots, and walk through the fix plan with the developer who wrote it.
We talk through what's changed, what you suspect, and which pages matter most to your business. You get a recommended audit package, the pages in scope, and a fixed price the same day.
What's Included
What You Get With a Technical Website Audit
Each audit covers five areas of your site, verified by a developer, and ends with a ranked fix plan your team or ours can start on right away.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built, reviewed, and improved websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Teams Trust Our Audits Over Free Scores
An audit is only useful if it leads to fixes. These habits keep our reports short on noise and long on actions you can take this month.
A developer checks every warning
Automated tools flag issues that don't affect real users. A developer verifies each one by hand, so your report lists only problems worth fixing.
Tested on real phones
We test key pages and forms on real phones, not just a desktop simulator. Many of your visitors arrive on a phone, so that's where we look first.
Honest when it's fine
If your site is in good shape, the report says so in the first paragraph. We won't pad the findings to justify the fee.
Effort in hours, not labels
Every fix comes with an estimate in hours, not just high, medium, or low. You can budget the work or hand it to any developer.
A recorded findings walkthrough
We record the findings call so your team, developer, or agency can watch it later. Nobody has to decode a spreadsheet alone.
Referrals to specialists
When a finding needs a deeper review, such as a full security or WCAG audit, we say so plainly. You only pay for depth where it's needed.

Good fit
Owners unsure what's wrong
Your enquiries dropped this year, and you can't tell whether the cause is speed, design, search, or something broken.
Teams planning a redesign
You're about to pay for a redesign and want a website audit report that shows what to fix, keep, or rebuild first.
New owners of an inherited site
You've taken over a site from another agency or a departed employee, and nobody can explain its plugins, hosting, or tracking.
Marketing leads who need proof
You need a website performance audit with numbers your leadership trusts before you ask for a development budget.
Agencies onboarding new clients
Your agency signs new clients every month and needs a white-label audit that shows each one what you'll fix first.
Not a fit
Security review needed
You suspect a hack or need a full security review. Website Security Audit Services goes much deeper on access, plugins, and server settings.
Legal accessibility review
You need a full WCAG conformance audit for legal reasons. WCAG Audit Services tests every template against the standard, which our spot check doesn't.
One user flow only
You only want to know why users struggle in one flow. UX Audit Services reviews flows screen by screen against usability heuristics.
Free tools already cover it
Your site is small, and a free tool like PageSpeed Insights already shows the issues clearly. We'll say so, and you won't need to pay us.

DeveloperLook audits start at $350 for a Health Check of up to 10 key pages. The Full Website Audit costs $750 for up to 200 URLs, and the Audit and Retest costs $1,150 for larger sites, with a retest after your fixes. Every price is fixed before the audit starts, so the report never turns into a surprise invoice.
A Health Check takes 3 to 5 business days, and the larger audits take 1 to 2 weeks. Most of that time is manual review: a developer tests forms, checks templates on real phones, and verifies each automated warning. You get the report and a walkthrough call at the end.
A site audit is a structured check of how well a site works for visitors and search engines. It covers speed, usability, technical health, security, and accessibility, then lists what to fix. A good audit ranks findings by impact, so you know which few changes will matter most.
Our audit includes 5 areas: speed and Core Web Vitals, UX and design, search health, security basics, and accessibility. Each finding has annotated screenshots, a plain-English fix, an effort estimate, and an impact rank. You also get a recorded walkthrough, and the larger packages add a template-by-template review and a retest.
An audit matters because many site problems are invisible to the people who run the site. Slow mobile pages, broken forms, crawl errors, and outdated plugins rarely announce themselves. They quietly cost enquiries until someone checks. An audit finds them in one pass and tells you which ones are worth paying to fix.
Do an audit when results drop without a clear cause, before you pay for a redesign, or after taking over a site. It turns guesses into evidence. Often the fix is smaller than a redesign: a slow script, a broken form, or pages blocked from search. An audit tells you which case you're in before you spend.
The report is the written result of the audit: every finding, why it matters, and how to fix it. Ours ranks findings by impact, adds an effort estimate in hours, and shows annotated screenshots. It ends with a fix plan in 3 waves: quick wins, a short sprint, and larger projects.
No, an audit can't improve rankings by itself, but fixing what it finds often removes what holds rankings back. Typical examples are blocked pages, broken redirects, slow templates, and missing titles. We flag search issues clearly, and if you need keyword and content strategy, we'll point you to the right specialist review.
A solid checklist covers speed, mobile layout, forms, and calls to action. It also covers indexing, redirects, broken links, titles, security headers, updates, and accessibility basics. Free checklists are a good start for small sites. Ours adds manual checks that automated tools skip, like submitting every form and testing on real phones.
Yes, if you want us to. Every finding comes with an effort estimate, so we can quote the fixes straight from the plan, or your own developer can take them on. The Audit and Retest package includes a second check within 60 days of your fixes, so you can see exactly what changed.
