Website UX Audit
Good design isn't the same as good usability. A website UX audit reviews navigation, information architecture and user flow through the lens of real user behaviour, to find exactly where visitors get confused or stuck.
What a Website UX Audit Covers
Every Contextread website ux audit reviews these six areas in detail.
Navigation Clarity
Whether users can find what they need without hunting.
Information Architecture
How content and pages are organised and labelled.
User Flow
Whether key tasks can be completed without friction.
Content Clarity
Whether copy actually helps or confuses users.
Mobile Usability
Usability specifically on smaller screens.
Accessibility Basics
Baseline usability for users with different abilities.
Do You Actually Need a Website UX Audit?
Users Get Lost Navigating
Support tickets or feedback mention difficulty finding things.
High Drop-off on Key Pages
Users leave at a specific, identifiable step.
Confusing Menu Structure
Navigation labels don't match how users think about your offering.
Never User-Tested the Site
No one has watched real people try to use it.
Mobile Feels Like an Afterthought
The mobile experience clearly wasn't designed intentionally.
Planning a Redesign
You want to fix real usability issues, not just refresh the look.

AUDITED
How Long a Website UX Audit Takes
A core pages audit (up to 10) takes 4 to 6 days. Full-site audits (11-40 pages) take 8 to 12 days. Enterprise audits over 40 pages take 15 to 22 days.
We use heuristic evaluation plus real data
Established usability principles combined with your actual analytics and, where available, session recordings give the most reliable findings.

Industries We Audit
What Happens After the Audit
An audit is only useful if the fixes get implemented. Here's what that looked like for one client.
Simplifying a confusing course catalog
Users couldn't find courses matching their needs through the existing filter system. A simplified navigation and filtering structure changed how far users got before giving up.

₹12,000 for up to 10 core pages, up to ₹1,80,000+ for enterprise sites over 40 pages.
How long does it take?
4 to 22 days depending on site size.
Will you redesign the site for us?
