Publication review
For blogs, news sites and content businesses. We look at how easily readers find stories, how comfortable your articles are to read, and how naturally you turn visitors into subscribers.

Each journey is checked against all eight areas of our standards: user experience, site-type essentials, accessibility, SEO & AI visibility, performance, growth, content & copy, and trust.

Is this just an AI audit?
No. Every review is done by a senior designer. We use automated tools for the measurable things, like speed, accessibility scans and broken links, so our designers can focus on what tools can’t judge: clarity, trust and whether your site makes people want to buy.
What kinds of websites do you review?
Online stores are our speciality. We also review business and marketing websites, and publications like blogs and news sites. Not sure where yours fits? Ask us.
What do you need from me?
A short brief: your site, your sitemap, your customers, your goals and anything that’s bugging you. If parts of your site sit behind a login, we’ll ask for a test account.
Who fixes the issues?
You or your developer. Every finding comes with clear recommendations, and the report switches into a to-do list your developer can work through or export to their own tools.
How long does a review take?
[X] business days from your brief, depending on the size of your site.
