Investigate Before Deciding What to Change

Technical Website Audit

A technical website audit investigates a defined concern, helping you understand the evidence and likely causes before deciding which website changes are worth pursuing.

A slow, unreliable or incompatible website can have several contributing factors. Devonto agrees the concern, access and appropriate depth of investigation before defining the audit, so the work is shaped around a useful question rather than a fixed checklist applied to every website.

Begin with the Problem You Can See

A Technical Website Audit with a Clear Question

The starting point may be a page that performs poorly, a function that no longer behaves reliably or uncertainty about an ageing setup. We connect the technical question with its practical effect on customers or the people managing the website.

The required access, checks and output depend on that concern. This is a paid audit, with the scope, fee and output agreed before work begins. Any implementation is considered and quoted separately unless it is expressly included in the audit scope.

A useful brief describes what happens, what you expected instead and where the problem can be seen. Include affected page addresses and whether the behaviour is consistent or intermittent. That context helps establish an investigation that relates to the business impact rather than a collection of unrelated technical checks.

Access requirements are agreed around the question. Some evidence is visible on the public website, while other checks may depend on the administration area, hosting information or a third-party provider. We identify those dependencies before work begins so the limits of the investigation and any missing evidence are understood.

Speed

Performance Symptoms

Investigate relevant factors behind slow or inconsistent page behaviour, with the checks selected according to the website and available access.
Bug Report

Functionality and Reliability

Explore a defined failure or recurring problem far enough to explain the likely cause, dependencies and suitable next action.
Extension

Compatibility and Dependencies

Consider themes, extensions, hosting or external services where their interaction is relevant to the question being investigated.
01

Agree the Question and Access

We clarify what is happening, why it matters and which parts of the setup need to be available for a meaningful investigation.
02

Investigate the Relevant Areas

The agreed checks are carried out and the evidence is considered together. The work stays focused on the defined concern and scope.
03

Explain Findings and Priorities

We present the findings in the agreed format and discuss their significance. Recommended next steps distinguish urgent attention from improvements that can be planned.

Decide What Happens After the Audit

Findings create a basis for action, not an automatic repair package.

Some recommendations may involve configuration or focused development. Others may point towards wider redevelopment, a different provider or work outside Devonto's scope.

Where Devonto is suitable to implement the next step, that work can be proposed separately. The audit does not promise a particular performance score, complete recovery or acceptance of every unfamiliar website.

The value of the findings is in helping you choose the next action. We distinguish what the evidence supports from what still needs confirmation, explain relevant dependencies and identify which recommendations can be considered together. That gives the discussion more substance than a score without an explanation.

If another provider controls part of the setup, a useful outcome may be a clearer question for that provider or an identified issue for them to address. Where the evidence points to a larger rebuild, that should be considered as its own project rather than treated as an automatic extension of the audit.

In Our Customers' Words

What Our Customers Think

If you are looking for assistance on building a website, Chris is the man for the job. Very helpful, very knowledgeable and nothing is too much trouble. You won't be disappointed.
I have been working with Chris for years. He designed my last two websites, and I have found him to be very professional and efficient. I highly recommend his services!
My Hustle for that Muscle website turned out so much better than I ever imagined. Working with Devonto was a dream and I would recommend Christopher & Margaret a million times over. Thank you for everything. Your hard work means the world to us ✨
We've worked with Devonto for several years and have always been impressed by the quality of service provided. The website work has been excellent, but what stands out is the technical knowledge and problem-solving ability behind it. We've worked together on Microsoft 365 integration and technical issues, and every challenge has been handled professionally and efficiently. Communication is always great, solutions are well thought out, and nothing ever seems too much trouble. It's rare to find a web designer who combines creative expertise with such strong technical capability. I would highly recommend Devonto to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable digital partner.
Great service. Website Chris made for us was exactly what we wanted.
Chris has assisted with our web profile and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
Thanks again Chris. You've been absolutely fantastic and you sort everything so quickly. We feel in such safe hands.
I honestly can’t thank Chris at Devonto Web Design enough. As a dog trainer, I was completely lost when it came to designing a website. It felt overwhelming and I didn’t know where to start. Chris took all the pressure off from the very beginning. He was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely took the time to understand what I wanted and then delivered something even better. The site reflects me and my business perfectly, and since launching it, I’ve had so many new enquiries. I genuinely wish I’d done it sooner. Chris is super responsive, easy to work with, and puts your mind at ease throughout the whole process. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have worked with Devonto now for over 10 years and I find them a delight to work with. Over this period they have been instrumental in helping to move all our web based businesses on. He is approachable and above all knowledgeable of the ever changing advances in the web and AI.
Here's the thing...when we bring in experts to do things that are outside of our own competencies, the last thing we need is someone who will just agree to everything, as if we actually are the experts. If that was the case, why hire someone to help in the first place? My point is this, great service from experts is based on collaboration and, frankly, telling us nicely when we're being stupid - again, we aren't the expert! This is one of my favourite things about Chris at Devonto. Every time I've worked with him, it has felt like a partnership. He takes my ideas and shapes them based on reality and what is possible. He has never implemented something without providing some knowledge to help me understand why things are the way they are, what works and what doesn't work. Chris isn't just an expert that applies his own expertise. He shares his knowledge along the way. This to me is the epitome of customer service, and his work has always been an even better representation of my own vision for a website. 100% would recommend, and I can't imagine using another web designer.
Great service and Devonto always ask the right questions so you end up with the correct functional website for your business. Delighted with the end result and would highly recommend.
