Website Audit

Website Audit — $99

Is your website helping people take the next step—or making it harder than it needs to be?

Before paying for a rebuild, find out what actually needs to change.

The Steady Drift Website Audit reviews your website from the first impression to the enquiry journey, alongside the technical and search foundations that support it.

Sometimes a website needs replacing. Often, targeted improvements are the more sensible starting point. This audit helps you understand which approach fits your situation.

What we review

• 👀 Homepage & first impression — whether a new visitor can quickly understand what you do, who it's for and why to trust you.
• 💬 Messaging & positioning — offer clarity, audience relevance and what makes your business different.
• 📱 Navigation & mobile experience — how easily visitors can find information and complete important tasks.
• 🎯 Conversion & trust — calls to action, enquiry friction, unanswered questions and credibility.
• 📝 Content & searchability — whether your pages answer customers' questions and clearly explain your business.
• 🔎 Technical SEO — titles, metadata, headings, indexability, structured data and important links.
• ⚡ Performance & accessibility basics — loading behaviour and basic usability checks, interpreted in context.
• 🔗 Backlinks & AI discoverability — realistic authority opportunities and foundations that help search and AI systems understand your business, with data limitations explained.

What you'll receive

A clear written report covering:

What's working — strengths to retain.

What's getting in the way — specific issues, supporting observations and why they may matter.

The five things I'd fix first — prioritised improvements, with practical next steps and an indication of effort.

An honest verdict — targeted fixes, a more substantial refresh, or a rebuild, with the reasoning explained.

AI assists the analysis. Steady Drift Studio reviews, refines and prioritises the findings against your website and the available evidence.

This is a practical review, not an accessibility compliance assessment or a guarantee of rankings, enquiries or sales. Any unavailable checks are clearly identified.

Who it's for

Businesses with a live website that want to:

• Understand whether the website clearly communicates their offer.
• Make it easier for visitors to enquire, book or buy.
• Identify useful improvements before committing to a rebuild.
• Get a clear outside perspective without a sales call.
• 
  

More concerned about your wider online presence? The Digital Presence Audit ($67) reviews search visibility, listings, reviews, social profiles and competitors, with a lighter website overview.

Clear next steps. No obligation to rebuild.

Delivered within 2 business days of receiving your website details and any necessary information.

Use the recommendations yourself, share them with your existing provider, or ask Steady Drift to help.

If you hire Steady Drift to improve or rebuild your website based on the findings, the $99 audit fee is credited in full toward that project.

Understand what needs changing before you spend on the fix.
