Visual Design Audit
Visual design is crucial in conveying your brand's identity and values.
We conduct comprehensive visual design audits that assess and refine your website's aesthetic elements to ensure they align with your organisational goals and branding strategy.
Our audit focuses on creating a site that is focused on your users.
Our Visual Design Audit Process
Step one: context
We begin by understanding the purpose of your site and the needs of its users..
- Review brand guidelines
- Audience typology session
- Organisational goals
- Website services and communication strategy
Step 2: Evaluation
Our process begins with our team assessing your current visual design elements and examining their consistency, accessibility, and alignment with your brand identity and goals identified in the first step. Key areas of focus include:
- Colours and Typography: Evaluating the effectiveness of your colour palette and font choices in conveying your brand's tone and enhancing readability.
- Header and Footer Design: Reviewing these navigational elements for design and functionality to optimise user flow.
- Imagery and Iconography: Assessing the relevance and consistency of visual content across the site.
- Layout and Spacing: Analysing page layouts and space to ensure content clarity and hierarchy.
- Responsive Design: Ensuring a consistent and accessible user experience across all devices and screen sizes.
- Interactive Elements: Reviewing the usability and visual appeal of buttons, links, and forms.
- Accessibility: Checking compliance with accessibility standards for a more inclusive user experience.
We then provide a set of recommendations for enhancing the visual design of the site.
Step 3: Branding Document Feedback
We provide detailed feedback on your branding document, ensuring it guides a consistent and comprehensive visual representation across all digital platforms.
Step 4: Developing Design Guidelines
Based on our findings, we develop or refine your visual design guidelines, covering:
- A cohesive colour scheme and typography standards.
- Optimised imagery and icon usage.
- Effective layout and responsive design practices.
- Accessibility and interactive elements design.
- Consistency across all visual components for stronger brand identity.
Step 5: After the audit
