Your ecommerce site may look polished on the surface, but what lies beneath? Technical debt, performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and accessibility failures can silently erode your brand's digital experience and commercial performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a code audit deliver?

You receive a detailed audit report covering all assessed areas, with findings categorised by severity (critical, major, minor, informational). Each finding includes a clear description, evidence, business impact, and recommended remediation with effort estimates.

How long does a code audit take?

A standard audit takes 2–3 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the codebase. Focused audits (e.g., security-only or performance-only) can be completed in 1–2 weeks.

Do you need access to our codebase?

Yes, we require read access to your source code repository. We work under strict NDA and can accommodate specific security requirements for repository access. We never retain copies of client code after the audit is complete.

Can you fix the issues you find?

Absolutely. Many clients engage us to remediate the findings from our audits. Having the same team that identified the issues implement the fixes ensures nothing is lost in translation and the solutions are executed correctly.

Why do luxury brands need code audits?

Luxury brands have exceptionally high standards for customer experience, and their digital platforms must reflect this. A code audit ensures your website performs at the level your customers expect — fast, secure, accessible, and reliable — protecting both your brand reputation and your revenue.
