Website audits that tell you what is actually wrong

Something feels off with your website. You just cannot name it. An audit names it.

A clear, prioritised audit in plain English. No obligation to hire us for the fixes.You know the price before it begins, and the fee is credited towards the project if we do the rebuild.

PageSpeed Insights audit results for a Creative Baguette build: 94 performance, 96 accessibility, 96 best practices, 100 SEO

/ Real audit data: Impact Ag Australia, one of ours

We check the website’s SEO, speed, user experience and security, then give you a short report in plain English.

What is broken. What may be creating friction or costing you opportunities. What to fix first.

No scare tactics. No jargon. No 40-page PDF nobody reads.

A real recommendation, not a red score and a shrug.

Issue: Visitors cannot tell which service is right for them.

Why it matters: People hesitate, leave or contact you with questions the website should answer.

Priority: High

Recommendation: Group the services into three clear pathways, give each one a specific next step, and move the most common enquiry option higher on the page.

That is the level of clarity you receive throughout the report.

Where an honest look changed the plan: Flowerdale Estate had a half-finished website that needed rescuing rather than replacing. Evolve Chiropractic needed a refresh and a better onboarding flow, not the full rebuild they expected to pay for.

What we check

SEO

Can Google find and understand you?

We review titles, descriptions, headings, page structure, internal links, indexing, technical basics and the words used on important pages.

Speed

Slow sites lose people

Slow websites lose people before they read a word. We check loading performance, image weight, scripts, mobile behaviour and the technical issues most likely to slow the site down. Our plain-English guide to website speed explains what we are looking at, and website accessibility covers the other half of the check.

User
experience

Can a stranger understand you?

Can a stranger understand what you do, who it is for and what to do next? We review navigation, page structure, mobile usability, clarity and conversion friction.

Security

Boring until it goes wrong

The boring work that becomes exciting when it goes wrong. We review the visible security setup, updates, forms, certificates and obvious risks. Where deeper specialist testing is needed, we say so clearly.

  • Most small-business audits sit between $450 and $650, depending on the size and complexity of the site.

Website audit FAQs

What does a website audit include?

The standard audit covers SEO foundations, speed, user experience and visible security issues.

We also look at whether the website explains the business clearly and makes the next step easy.

Do I have to pay you to make the fixes?

No.

The report is yours. You can make the changes yourself, send it to your current developer or ask us to help.

And if Creative Baguette completes the rebuild, your audit fee is credited towards the project.

How long does an audit take?

Most audits are completed within one week.

Larger websites may take longer. We will tell you before starting.

Can you audit a website someone else built?

Yes.

Most of the websites we audit were built by someone else. We focus on what the site needs now, not who made the earlier decisions.
