UX & First Impression Audits for Early-Stage Products

I help early-stage products improve clarity, trust, and first-time user experience — so users don't bounce in the first minute.

Best fit for:

  • Early-stage startups
  • Solo founders or small teams
  • Products preparing to launch or recently launched
  • Founders who care about first impression & retention

What I Do

I review early-stage websites and apps with a focus on:

First Impression

First 10–30 seconds experience analysis to understand what users see and feel immediately.

Clarity of Value

Evaluating how clearly your product communicates its value and next steps for users.

Visual Trust & UI Cleanliness

Assessing visual design elements that build (or break) user trust and perception.

Mobile Usability

Testing and optimizing the mobile experience for on-the-go users.

Friction Detection

Identifying small issues that quietly kill engagement and conversion rates.

Async Process

Everything is async — no calls, no meetings, just clear, actionable feedback.

How It Works

Simple and straightforward process designed for busy founders.

1

Share Your Product

You share a link to your website or app along with any specific concerns you have.

2

Free Pre-Audit

I do a short pre-audit and share 2–3 high-level observations within 24 hours.

3

Full UX Audit (Optional)

If the pre-audit is useful, I prepare a comprehensive UX audit with actionable insights.

What's Included in a Full UX Audit

A complete first-experience UX breakdown delivered as a structured PDF + a 1:1 call where we walk through everything together and discuss your product in depth.

  • Step-by-step analysis of how a new user experiences your product
  • Clear identification of friction points that hurt activation and trust
  • Prioritized recommendations (what matters now vs later)
  • Mobile-first focus

Optionally, I can help fix or redesign key parts if needed.

Pricing

Simple, transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
