UX Audits and Tech Debt Resolution
Pay down the debt before it bankrupts your user experience. Faster sites convert better.
The Diagnostic
A deep dive into your codebase, analytics, and server logs.
The Roadmap
A prioritized list of critical fixes vs. nice-to-have improvements.
Remediation
Systematically deploying fixes to staging, then production.
Fix the Foundation
Sometimes the problem isn't the marketing; it's the machine. You can pour money into ads, but if your site is frustrating to use or slow to load, you are wasting traffic.
At Analog Elk, we specialize in the unglamorous but essential work of digital triage. We dive deep into your existing platform to find the friction points costing you customers and the messy code slowing down your team. We reinforce the foundation.
The UX Audit: Finding the Friction
You know your site too well. Your customers don't. We provide a fresh set of eyes to evaluate your user experience against industry standards.
Heuristic Analysis We evaluate your interface against established usability principles. We check for consistency, error prevention, and ease of use. We identify the confusing menus, broken links, and hidden buttons.
Accessibility Compliance (WCAG) In 2026, accessibility is not optional. It is a legal and ethical requirement. We audit your site to ensure it is usable by everyone, including people using screen readers. This expands your market reach.
Performance Review Speed is a feature. We analyze your Core Web Vitals to see what is causing lag. Whether it's unoptimized images or heavy scripts, we pinpoint exactly why your site feels sluggish.
Tech Debt: The Silent Killer
Tech debt is the accumulation of shortcuts. It is the plugin you installed three years ago and forgot about. Over time, this debt accumulates interest in the form of bugs and security vulnerabilities. We pay it down.
Code Refactoring We clean up the mess. We simplify complex functions, remove unused CSS and JavaScript, and organize your file structure. This makes your site lighter, faster, and easier for future developers to work on.
Dependency Updates Running old software is a security risk. We identify outdated libraries and frameworks and bring them up to date. We handle the conflicts that arise during updates so your site stays secure without breaking.
How We Work
1. The Diagnostic We ask for the keys. We get access to your codebase, analytics, and server logs. We look under the hood without changing anything first.
2. The Report We do not give you a jargon-filled spreadsheet. We give you a prioritized roadmap. We categorize issues by "Critical," "High Impact," and "Nice to Have." We tell you what needs to be fixed today to stop the bleeding and what can wait.
3. The Resolution We deploy fixes systematically. We work in a staging environment first to ensure nothing breaks in production.
Stop Building on Quicksand
Your business deserves a platform that is stable, fast, and secure. Let’s clear the debt and build a better future.
