Summary
FAQs
What exactly is a "Heuristic Audit"?
It’s an expert review of your interface based on 10 established usability principles (heuristics). I look for common "usability traps"—like confusing navigation or poor system feedback—that cause users to get frustrated or quit. It’s the fastest way to find high-impact improvements for your product.
How is this different from an Accessibility Audit?
An Accessibility Audit ensures everyone can use your product (compliance). A UX Heuristic Audit ensures everyone wants to use it (usability). While there is overlap, the heuristic audit focuses on reducing "mental effort" and making the interface feel more intuitive and efficient.
Do you provide fully redesigned screens?
I provide implementation-ready redlines. This means I mark up your existing screens in Figma with specific instructions on what to change. This is usually more helpful for developers than a full redesign because it gives them a clear "blueprint" to follow within your current design system.
What if my product has more than 7 screens?
The $1,200 package is optimized for a deep-dive into one core flow (like onboarding or checkout). If you need an audit of a larger, enterprise-level platform, I can provide a custom quote and timeline based on the total number of screens and complexity.
Can you audit a product that is still in the design phase?
Absolutely. Auditing a product while it’s still in Figma is actually the best time to do it. It allows you to catch and fix usability issues before a single line of code is written, saving your engineering team significant time and rework later.
