Your Website Looks Great. But Does It Convert?

A beautiful website that doesn't convert is just an expensive brochure. We audit every element of your user experience: navigation flows, form friction, mobile behaviour, page layouts, and conversion paths. Then we deliver prioritised recommendations backed by heatmap data, session recordings, and real user behaviour analytics.

What We Do

What a UX Audit Actually Involves

A UX audit examines how real users interact with your website: where they click, where they hesitate, where they drop off, and what stops them from converting. We combine quantitative data (analytics, heatmaps, scroll depth, session recordings) with qualitative analysis (user flow assessment, conversion path mapping, accessibility review) to identify exactly what's costing you conversions and revenue. Every recommendation is prioritised by impact and effort.

Heatmap & Click Analysis

We deploy Gorilla Analytics heatmaps across your key pages, revealing where users click, how far they scroll, and which elements attract attention vs which get ignored. This visual data exposes layout problems no amount of guesswork can find.

Session Recording Analysis

We watch real user sessions, seeing exactly how visitors navigate your site, where they get confused, where they rage-click, and where they abandon. Hundreds of sessions reviewed and categorised by behaviour pattern to identify systemic UX issues.

Conversion Path Mapping

We map every path from landing page to conversion, identifying friction points, unnecessary steps, confusing navigation, and drop-off points. For lead gen sites: form length, field types, and CTA placement. For e-commerce: product discovery, cart flow, and checkout friction.

Mobile UX Assessment

Over 60% of traffic is mobile. We audit tap targets, scroll behaviour, form usability on small screens, page speed on mobile networks, and responsive layout issues that desktop testing misses entirely.

Accessibility Review

WCAG compliance isn't just ethical, it's good UX and increasingly a legal requirement. We audit colour contrast, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, alt text, and ARIA labels. Accessible sites convert better for everyone.

Prioritised Recommendations

Every issue ranked by impact x effort. Critical conversion blockers first. Quick wins next. Longer-term improvements scheduled. You get a clear, actionable roadmap, not a 100-page PDF that sits in a drawer.

How We Work

Our Approach to UX Audits

Data-driven UX analysis that turns visitor behaviour into conversion improvements.

1

Analytics & Tracking Setup

We deploy Gorilla Analytics alongside your GA4 setup: heatmaps, session recordings, scroll tracking, and event monitoring across your key pages. This gives us the behavioural data foundation that the entire audit is built on. If tracking gaps exist, we fix them first.

2

Quantitative Analysis

We analyse traffic flows, bounce rates, exit pages, conversion funnels, and drop-off points through analytics data. Heatmaps reveal click patterns and scroll depth. Session recordings show real user behaviour. We identify patterns, not just individual issues.

3

Qualitative Assessment

Expert review of navigation structure, information hierarchy, visual design, form design, CTA placement, trust signals, and content clarity. Mobile experience assessed separately. Accessibility compliance checked against WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

4

Recommendations & Implementation

Findings delivered as a prioritised roadmap with visual annotations, before/after mockups where helpful, and clear implementation guidance. We can work with your developers to implement changes, or handle it in-house for WordPress, Shopify, and WooCommerce sites.

UX Audits Under the Microscope

Why UX matters more than ever for both conversions and search rankings.

UX & SEO: Why Google Cares About User Experience

+
Google uses Core Web Vitals (page speed, visual stability, and interactivity) as direct ranking factors. But UX impacts SEO far beyond technical metrics. High bounce rates, low time-on-site, and pogo-sticking (users clicking back to search results) all signal to Google that your page isn't satisfying search intent. Improving UX doesn't just increase conversion rates, it improves your organic search performance too. We audit UX with both conversion optimisation and SEO impact in mind.

Heatmaps Don't Lie: What They Reveal That Analytics Can't

+
Google Analytics tells you what users do in aggregate: bounce rates, page views, conversion rates. Heatmaps show you why. They reveal that users are clicking on elements that aren't clickable (false affordance). That your CTA below the fold gets zero attention. That users stop scrolling before reaching your key selling points. That your mobile navigation is being tapped accidentally. These visual insights expose problems that data tables never surface. Combined with session recordings that show individual user journeys in real-time, you get a complete picture of how your website actually performs in the real world.

The ROI of UX: Small Changes, Big Revenue Impact

+
UX improvements often deliver the highest ROI of any digital investment because they multiply the value of traffic you're already paying for. If your site converts at 2% and a UX audit identifies changes that lift it to 3%, you've just increased revenue by 50% from the same traffic. No additional ad spend. No additional SEO work. Just better conversion of existing visitors. For businesses running PPC campaigns, UX improvements directly reduce cost per acquisition: the same clicks convert at higher rates. We typically see UX audit recommendations deliver 20-40% conversion rate improvements within the first quarter of implementation.

UX Audits vs A/B Testing: When You Need Which

+
A UX audit identifies problems and generates hypotheses. A/B testing validates which solutions work best. They're complementary, not competing. We recommend starting with a UX audit to identify the biggest conversion blockers, the low-hanging fruit that can often be fixed immediately without testing. Once the obvious issues are resolved, A/B testing becomes valuable for optimising specific elements: CTA copy, form layouts, page structures, and pricing presentations. We can run both as part of a wider conversion optimisation programme.
