You spend the budget where it pays
Findings are tied to the journeys that matter, so the work queue starts with the pages costing you enquiries.
Find the obstacles in the startup’s first live journeys.
We inspect how visitors understand the offer and complete the agreed action or product task. The audit uses observable behaviour and available evidence, keeping low-data hypotheses separate from verified interface defects.
A few clients we’ve worked with
What we do
UX audit for startups: offer and entry review, task inspection, prioritised findings.
What UX audit needs to account for.
A small traffic sample cannot support every conversion conclusion.
Visitors need to know whether they are joining a waitlist or using a product.
First-release errors need reproducible evidence rather than assumptions about users.
What an audit tells you before you rebuild.
A working page can still make a task harder than it needs to be. Finding out which pages, and why, is cheaper than redesigning everything and hoping.
Opinions become evidence
Interface inspection combined with your own analytics separates observed problems from the ones someone assumes exist.
A redesign stops being a gamble
The audit is the brief. The next project starts from known problems instead of a general feeling that the site is tired.
UX audit scope.
The scope connects offer and entry review, task inspection and prioritised findings.
Offer and entry review
Check whether the site explains current availability and the next step. Inspect the routes used by actual early campaigns or referrals.
Task inspection
Walk through the selected form or product flow with authorised test access. Include validation, empty and recovery states.
Prioritised findings
Provide reproduction evidence and suggested corrections. Mark questions that require customer interviews or a larger sample.
What clients say.
Reviews from the companies we have built and maintained websites for.
Read every review on Clutch“Their level of dedication to the success of the project and GoPetZen's business as a whole is unique.”
“We didn’t choose them to be impressed — we chose them because we knew they’d deliver high-level results with no risk. As a CTO myself, that’s exactly what I look for in a long-term partnership.”
“And, you know, the great part about the fact that you hit the goal, it's not that you had to compromise anything that you were doing, because, honestly, the end result far exceeded what we could have imagined.”
“I would just say that you deliver on quality … I just thought we clicked, and you delivered what we were looking for.”

Our process
How we approach UX audit.
Choose the first journeys
Agree the entry routes and user actions that matter at the current stage.
[ 01 ]
Inspect real behaviour
Capture unclear content, failed steps and recovery limitations using safe test inputs.
[ 02 ]
Separate fixes and hypotheses
Review what can be corrected directly and what still needs user evidence.

Let's chat
“I've spent 10 years working across development and marketing. I started as a developer, but design, SEO and advertising were already part of the job. That taught me to treat a website as one system: the business, the content, the design and the code have to work together. At Norml, I lead the architecture behind our work and stay involved wherever strategy, design, development and search meet.”

Get startedUX audit for startups: questions.
Can an audit help when we have little analytics data?
Yes, for observable interface and content issues. Conclusions about behaviour or conversion remain limited and are labelled accordingly.
Does the audit replace customer interviews?
No. It can identify useful interview questions and defects, while direct customer research answers different questions.
