Clarity before
the next investment.

Website audit
& action plan

One public website, up to 25 representative pages or page types. A prioritised action plan and findings review.

  • Technical SEO and indexation review
  • Priority-page performance and Core Web Vitals checks
  • Accessibility and interaction spot-check
  • Content, navigation and enquiry-route review

What discovery covers
  • Problem, audience and success definition
  • Priority journeys and first-release boundary
  • Data, integration and delivery-risk map
  • Prototype or equivalent decision artefact where useful

The build is quoted separately once these decisions are strong enough to price responsibly.

A few practical
questions.

If the work does not fit a starting scope, tell us about the problem you need to solve.

Which package should I choose?

Starter suits a sole trader or new business that mainly needs people to call or message. Business suits most established local businesses that want to be found on Google and get more enquiries. Growth adds more pages and one feature such as online booking or a small shop. If you are not sure, tell us about your business and we will recommend one honestly.

Are the prices fixed before work starts?

Yes. After the fit and scope are understood, the written proposal identifies the deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, payment stages and final fee. Additional work is described and approved before it begins.

Do these prices include VAT?

No VAT is charged. Subtle Standard is not VAT registered, so the price you see is the price you pay. The proposal shows every unavoidable known charge before acceptance.

What happens after a website audit?

You receive a prioritised action plan that can stand on its own. Implementation can be quoted as a focused improvement sprint, folded into a redesign proposal or handed to your existing team. The audit does not lock you into further work with Subtle Standard.

Do I need a care plan?

Every site needs hosting and basic upkeep, which the Essential care plan covers from £35 a month. Care plans can be added with a new build or later, and can be cancelled with 30 days' notice after the first 3 months. Pay-monthly plans include care.

What happens if the scope changes?

We explain the effect on cost and timing in a written change order. You decide whether to approve it before the additional work begins; an informal conversation is not treated as permission to add charges.
