What you get for it.
Every engagement ends with something written down. A conversation you can’t hand to an engineer six months from now isn’t a deliverable.
Automated
Machine-generated, no human reads them, and the report says so on its first line. A floor to stand on before paying for a person.
Automated Scan
A machine-generated report on the handful of things a machine can check without guessing. No human reads it — which is exactly why it costs £5 and arrives in minutes.
- The everyday protections a browser expects, and where yours fall short
- Whether your site is properly encrypted — and stays that way
- Whether a stranger could send email that looks like it came from you
- What your site quietly gives away about itself before anyone signs in
It never opens a browser, so it says nothing about performance, accessibility, or your code — that is what everything above it is for. Want the technical detail behind a finding? Email me and I'll talk specifics.

Automated Review
The scan, plus an automated read of the pages a visitor actually lands on. Still no human — a machine finds the obvious things fast and tells you which to fix first.
- Everything in the Automated Scan
- Your public pages read for the problems visitors hit first
- Anything a stranger can reach that they should not be able to
- Findings ranked, so you know where to start
Automated, and labelled as such. It finds the obvious things fast; it is not a substitute for someone reading your code.

Scan in minutes, the rest within one working day
Automated Deep Review
The review, run across the whole public site rather than the front door — every page, and the flows that matter: signing in, checking out, sending a form. No human reads it, which is what keeps it at this price.
- Everything in the Automated Review
- Every public page, not just the ones you send people to
- Sign-in, checkout and forms checked for the common ways they go wrong
- A prioritised summary you can hand straight to a developer

Start small
Small pieces of work by a person, strictly time-boxed. Cheap ways to find out whether I am any use to you.
Async Teardown
Fifteen minutes of a consultant using your site and saying out loud what is wrong with it, recorded. No meeting, no calendar, no call to schedule.
- A 15-minute screen recording, yours to keep and share internally
- First impressions from someone who has never seen the site
- Every point of friction named as I hit it, not summarised afterwards
- A short written list of the issues, timestamped to the recording
£75
3 working days
Single Page Review
One page or one journey, read properly by a person. Your checkout, your signup, the page your support inbox complains about most.
- Hand review of one page or flow — UX, accessibility, performance
- Anything security-relevant I notice while I am in there
- Annotated findings you can hand straight to a developer
- Ranked by effort against impact, so you know where to start
£100
3 working days
Checkout Teardown
The flow that touches money, examined properly — usability and security together. It is the one place where those two disciplines meet, and where mistakes cost you directly.
- Every step from cart to confirmation, walked and recorded
- Where people hesitate, and where they abandon
- How prices, totals and discounts are trusted — the tampering questions
- Card handling reviewed against PCI SAQ-A expectations
£150
5 working days
Second Opinion
One specific question, answered properly and in writing. Is this architecture sane? Why is checkout slow? Is this login flow safe to ship?
- Ninety minutes on one question of your choosing
- A written answer with the reasoning, not just a verdict
- The evidence I used, so you can check my working
- An honest "I don't know" where that is the true answer
One question. If it turns into three, that is a scoped piece of work and I will say so rather than rush it.

Audits
One piece of work, one price, one date. You know exactly what you're getting before you pay.
Accessibility Snapshot
WCAG 2.2 AA against your three most important journeys, tested with a screen reader rather than only a linter, plus a conformance statement you can publish.
- Three journeys tested by hand, with assistive technology
- Findings mapped to specific WCAG 2.2 success criteria
- A conformance statement you can publish, written to be defensible
- The gap list you would need to close to claim full AA
Written to be shown to a customer or a regulator, not just to your developers.
£350
7 working days
Bug Hunt
One reproducible bug that has beaten your team. I find the root cause, and you get the reasoning, not just a patch.
- Root cause analysis written up in full
- A minimal reproduction you can keep in your test suite
- A proposed fix, as a patch or a pull request
- Notes on what let it happen, so the class of bug closes too
£600
Typically 3 working days
Performance Audit
Why your site is slow, in specifics. Field data and lab data, the render path, the payload, and the queries behind them.
- Core Web Vitals breakdown from real user data where available
- Waterfall and bundle analysis with the actual offenders named
- Server and query-level findings where they dominate
- A ranked list of changes with expected millisecond savings

- Concrete remediation for each finding, not just a CVE number
- A 60-minute walkthrough call with your engineers
