Web Audits

Have you ever had a web audit?

I’ve had, and I have given many web audits in my life on the internet. Most audits DO NOT actually help you. They are written to tell you how your page doesn’t connect to the average normal guidelines. The problem with that is it’s all technical information for the back end that has nothing really to do with improving your actual sales and conversions.

For example, if you were to run an audit report it will tell you your google search engine optimization improvements if you own and run a blog. The reports aren’t built to run for various platforms. They also do not use human eyes to capture what’s going on with the site and its call to action. Instead, it will tell you, whether you have too many H1s or none. Do you know how to fix that? It will say your description is too long. Things that mean something to google but not necessarily to the customer.

In my opinion, I believe how the site looks, functions, and speaks to the visitor is the most important part of an audit. What are you communicating to the visitor and how easy is what you are communicating being received? In the tech world, this is called UI/UE.

So, what are UI and UX? the look and feel of the sales process from landing to converting… and even thereafter and beforehand 🙂

  • UI is the user intent of the design, focusing on product look and usability to enhance the user’s experience in order to make the conversation the most appealing.
  • UX is the user’s experience of the design that focuses on the functionality from the user’s perspective. This includes both site and product.

In the spa and personal care arena, UI and UX- are the UTMOST important pieces of your website

I’d love to audit your site and show you where you can improve simply, fast, and affordably in ways that will help you convert as well as move upward on googles search results.

We believe the first part of every audit should be focused on UI and UE

We use a Special Formulation in our Web Methods consisting of Optimized UX/UI best practices for improved ROI

Our Marketing Story (owner and founder of Castle Baths®)

… after several mistakes – I wanted to get it right…  I was tired of constantly trying new directions and listening to the “so-called” experts, not in MY field, only experts in their field. I was tired of the rabbit holes and chasing shiny objects! ..so, I created a formula for effective customer conversion!

Simplified in the following steps:

1. Design-ability: It can’t just look pretty; it has to work!

2. Use-ability: No customer confusion.

3. Vis-ability: Be seen, heard, and understood!

4. Profit-ability: Your website is an investment. Get the most customer conversions for your money.

The Math:
Design-ability – (4friction) + Use-ability – (2anxiety) + Vis-ability (2permission + trust X engagement) = Profit-ability(tm)

We call this The Ability Factor(TM) – giving you the ability to succeed.
