Websites That Work While You Focus On What Matters

A scoped, read-only review that runs quietly in the background — your team stays in control, we hand back a prioritized list, nothing more.

For Companies & Government Agencies With Their Own Web Team

An independent audit of your website. Not a pitch to take it over.

Your webmaster or dev team isn't going anywhere. This is a scoped, outside review — the same kind of independent check any mature engineering org or public agency runs periodically — that hands your team a clear, prioritized list of what to fix. Built for corporations and municipal & government sites alike, where accessibility compliance often carries real legal weight.

This is a read-only, no-production-access audit for organizations with their own dev team — delivered as a severity-ranked report. Priced $300–$1,000 depending on scope, paid upfront, strictly read-only with no upsell.

We don't just claim rigor — read what an actual audit found.

Persistence

The same categories, checked the same way, every single time.

What We Audit

The same categories we catch real bugs in, every day

Every category below reflects something we've actually found and fixed in production — not a generic checklist copied from somewhere else.

SEO & Structured Data

Title tags, meta descriptions, Schema.org markup, sitemap and robots.txt health, duplicate or thin content.

Accessibility

Color contrast, keyboard navigation, focus states, semantic HTML, and a WCAG AA baseline check.

Real find: invisible footer text from a global color rule

Mobile & Responsive

Real device testing — not just a resized browser window — across breakpoints, touch targets, and layout overflow.

Real find: a page silently scrolling sideways on mobile

Performance

Page weight, render-blocking resources, image optimization, and what's actually slowing first paint.

Security & Reliability

SSL/certificate configuration, mixed content, broken links, and stale canonical URLs pointing nowhere.

Real find: a canonical tag pointing at an unregistered domain

Content & UX

Stale content, dead calls-to-action, broken forms, outdated copyright years, and other small signs of neglect.

Technical Precision

Four steps, none of them vague, none of them skipped.

How It Works

Four steps, no surprises

1

Scope & access

We agree on what's in scope and request only read-only or staging access — never production credentials.

2

Manual + automated review

Real browsers, real devices, and direct inspection — not just an automated scanner report.

3

Written, prioritized report

Findings ranked by severity, with evidence and concrete fix recommendations your team can act on directly.

4

Optional walkthrough

A call to review findings with your team, if useful — entirely optional.

Opportunity

A finding, not a sales lead — read it and decide for yourself.

The Deliverable

A report, not a pitch

Every finding is logged with a severity level, so your team can triage instead of reading a wall of undifferentiated notes.

See It For Yourself

Real previews, not just a mockup

Every finding below was independently verified by us directly, not inferred from third-party data. Built unprompted for real San Jose organizations, using only public information, with no production access requested.

Law Firm

Berliner Cohen LLP

A 50+ year San Jose law firm has a page where raw, unescaped HTML code leaks into a meta tag instead of a description — and the broken code itself misspells the firm's own name.

Municipal Government

City of San José

The City's official site has a real ADA Coordinator and accessibility program — but six core informational pages return nothing but a "please enable JavaScript" message to search crawlers.

Credit Union

Meriwest Credit Union

A homepage section built to show off real charitable giving displays "$0" for both stat headlines instead of the real figures — an unfortunate irony for a generosity-focused section.

The Audit Guarantee

$300–$1,000, paid upfront. Strictly read-only, with no upsell.

Payment is due upfront before the audit begins, same as every other engagement. What you get instead of a contingent-payment gimmick is a genuinely independent report — we have no financial incentive to find or manufacture issues, since we're never pitching implementation work off the back of it. See Operational Terms for the full policy.

Common questions

What categories does the audit cover?

The same categories real bugs get caught in every day: technical SEO, accessibility (including WCAG compliance, which carries real legal weight for government sites), mobile performance, and security.

Are the sample audits on this page real companies?

Yes. Real San Jose-area organizations, audited unprompted using only public information, with every finding independently verified directly rather than inferred from third-party data.
