Design Audit in Details
Through an in-depth website design audit, we thoroughly examine visual and technical elements, identify design challenges, and provide insights to help clients make informed decisions.
Poor UI/UX causes 70% of users to lose trust in websites. If a website’s navigation is overly complex or buttons are hard to find, this can frustrate users and lead to higher bounce rates.
During the audit, we thoroughly evaluate the user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) to identify pain points and areas for improvement. Our design audit assesses usability, navigation ease, and readability, ensuring a seamless user experience.
Picture it: a high-end luxury brand with inconsistent design elements, logos, fonts, and colors — this lack of cohesion can confuse users and undermine trust.
Through the design audit, we identify any inconsistencies between brand identity and user perception. We analyze how well a website represents a company’s reputation, reflects its values, mission, and visual style, and shapes users’ perceptions.
A long and complicated checkout process can lead to an 87% cart abandonment rate. To help businesses improve conversion rate optimization (CRO), we conduct a comprehensive UX evaluation of their website.
Our team identifies elements hindering the conversion rate and uncovers opportunities to enhance the customer experience. We thoroughly assess aspects such as site navigation, layout, readability, buttons, and content, providing brands with valuable insights on improving conversion.
88% of users abandon websites that take 3 seconds or more to load. Search engines like Google significantly lower the ranking of websites that take 5 seconds or more to load.
During our website design audit, we thoroughly evaluate and diagnose performance issues, identifying which pages are loading too slowly, how many resources the website uses, and more. We always provide optimization recommendations to ensure your website’s speed meets the highest standards.
A non-responsive website loses two-thirds of its audience. While 63% of traffic comes from mobile devices, 60% of all users don’t trust websites without a mobile version.
Our design audit examines a website’s mobile technical setup. We conduct the audit across all relevant mobile devices. The list of devices is agreed upon separately with the client based on their target audience.
A website is considered a public place, which means it must be accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities (e.g., those who are blind, deaf, or have limited mobility).
Our team evaluates a website’s accessibility features based on VPAT standards, including WCAG, ADA, AODA, and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. We ensure the website meets these standards and provides an inclusive and accessible UX.
Proper content layout enhances readability, user engagement, and SEO performance. Minor adjustments like line spacing and subheadings make content more user-friendly and optimized for search engines, improving user retention, accessibility, and overall website performance.
A detailed analysis evaluates how content is structured, organized, and visually presented across different pages, including heading hierarchy, text formatting, image placement, white space usage, and overall visual flow.
Poor readability results in a 38% higher bounce rate. If the text is hard to scan, users struggle to find information, reducing conversions. Small font sizes, poor contrast, and improper spacing make content inaccessible, impacting SEO and user satisfaction.
Based on our audit, we provide recommendations to make the text easier to read and more search-engine friendly. Our team evaluates text formatting to ensure content is optimized for readability and SEO, focusing on text alignment, contrast, line length, and overall structure.
