Technical assessment · Shopify audit

Find out what to fix before investing in more development.

FAQ

Specific answers before the first conversation.

Is an audit required before every project?

No. A clearly defined small change may not need a separate audit. When state is unclear or investment is larger, an audit reduces risk.

Do we receive only a document or implementation too?

An audit can end as a standalone plan or continue with implementation of selected priorities. Scope is decided after findings.

Do you check SEO and performance too?

Yes, within technical impact: templates, speed, indexability, structure, measurement and change risks.

Not sure what should be fixed first?

Send the store URL, known issues and planned change. We will suggest whether to start with an audit, small fix or defined project.
