What’s exactly included in the UX audit?

UX research

Dive deep into the current user experience of your product and define frustrating UX elements that can be immediately fixed. Focusing on user needs, behaviors, and motivations, we guide you in designing user-centered products that resonate with their pain points.

Usability and accessibility audit

Find out which elements of UI design prevent users from navigating and completing tasks with ease. We check if your app is fully responsive across devices and complies with accessibility standards, ensuring inclusivity and user-friendliness for all.

Content audit

Assess the quality and effectiveness of your content, focusing on its structure, readability, hierarchy, and relevance. Our information architecture audit studies content structure and organization to create a user-friendly interface that is easy to interact with.

Performance audit

Check out if your app or website has issues with network latency, server response, and page load times. In our audit, we help you understand the factors behind slow loading times and suggest proactive measures for error-free and optimized performance.

Visual design audit

Learn how each element of your product design can be more engaging and enjoyable to use. We examine the layout, typography, and color scheme, aligning them with your brand identity and ensuring they resonate with your target audience.

Conversion rate optimization (CRO) audit

Define barriers to higher user conversions that hinder users from making a purchase or completing a form. We delve into every aspect of CRO related to complex checkout processes, poor call-to-action design, or ineffective user flow.

It’s time for a UX audit if:

The product has performance issues

You’re suffering from low conversion and retention rates, and high churn, while your app receives poor feedback and ratings, as users struggle with onboarding and navigation.

The product was recently launched

Your product is live for a while, and it's time to gather data on current user interactions. Post-launch UX audit keeps you aligned with user needs and behavior while also identifying areas for improvement and scalability.

The product needs an upgrade

Whether you're adding new features, enhancing existing ones, or revamping the user interface, a UX audit ensures that the updated product is running well, and continues to meet user needs and expectations.

You’re integrating new technologies

When integrating AI, machine learning, AR/VR, or other technologies, a UX audit helps you understand how well they can work with existing features while ensuring optimal usability for your users.
