Help your website to deliver great results
Your website is more than just a collection of text and images. It's a sales platform that helps you to connect your business with your ideal audience. Is your website delivering results to your business right now?
Poorly maintained websites only help to lose you customers
Regular care and maintenance of your website helps you to ensure that you stay relevant to your target audience and stand out in your market.
When you don't look after your website or make regular updates you run the risk of losing potential customers to your competitors.
You may have heard the "if you build if, they will come" mantra before. It certainly has a place in history, but it does not transfer over well to the digital space.
Unfortunately, if you build a website and carry out no marketing activities at all, you will struggle to have visibility in your marketplace. This means that your local or national competitors will happily continue to take the valuable customers that you're looking to bring to your business.
Don't be left bailing water out of a boat when it comes to taking care of your website. Regular maintenance, updates and care will help it to perform at its best for years to come.
Take advantage of the best sales platform that you have
Your website is the best sales platform that you have available to you in your business. Even if you're not selling products or services directly!
As the main hub of your business, your website educates and informs your prospective customers, helping them to trust you.
You can use many avenues for marketing your business, including trade shows, conferences, videos, farmer's markets, print advertising and more. Yet, all of these methods will lead back to your website at least once during the buying process.
As your best sales platform, your website needs to speak directly to your audience. You know the problems that they have and the solution that your products or services provide.
Using conversational content is a great way of doing this, as it's written in a way that makes the reader feel like they're sat on the other side of your desk.
Are you making the most of your best sales platform right now?
Do you answer yes to any of these?
Our Website Audits have been designed to help you with all of the above issues...and more!
Yes, I'd like you to help me with my website
As your best sales platform, your website will typically have an organic level of growth from the perspective of the content that you add to it. When you have new products or services to offer to the world, you'll add content to support this. When you have news or updates, you can share blog posts. Your website grows with your business.
It's important that your website is visible and accessible to your target audience. So if you target professionals who have an interest in science and high levels of disposable income, you need to have your website and brand in front of those people. If you're not in front of them, where they use the Internet, you can't position your products or services effectively.
Our Website Audit service helps you to identify problems with your website and fine tune your processes, keeping it working at an optimal level.
Our Website Audit will take a deep look at your website, the design, content, functionality, speed, security and more. Think of it like a health check for your website. You need to make sure that your website is healthy and in good order, so that it can be an effective selling tool for your business.
After completing our Website Audit, we'll provide you with a PDF report of our findings and any action points that we recommend taking care of. As part of the service, you get 1 hour of our time included, so we can use this towards resolving any issues that we've found.

What's included in our Website Audit?
Our Website Audit looks at seven key areas of your website. The results are supplied as a PDF report with action points to let you know what needs resolving. Finally, we include 1 hour of our time to help you with carrying out the recommended action points.
Web Design & Branding
We'll look at how your website has been designed and branded towards your intended target audience. An example of something that we look for here would be making sure your website resizes the content responsively to suit the size of the device on which it is being displayed.
Conversion Optimisation
One of the elements we look at here is making sure that you have a clear Call to Action (CTA) on each page of your website. It's important to always have an intended action that you would like your visitor to take. This could be to book a call with your company, send in a quote request or to purchase a product / service through a checkout.
SEO / Online Visibility
We'll look at how visible your website currently is in the search engines for the type of searches that your target audience are performing. We'll make a note of any competitors (locally or nationally) who are getting more visibility and attention than you. Just like you, we want your website to be more visible than your biggest competitors.
User Experience
We'll review the experience that a typical visitor has on your website. Is everything easy for them to use? Can they easily contact your business if they need more information on your products or services? Perhaps you're doing something at the moment without realising that could negatively impact the browsing experience of a potential customer.
Website Speed / Performance
We'll carry out a number of speed and performance tests on your website. If your website is taking more than 3 seconds to load, it would likely need some speed optimisation work. You only have 7 seconds to capture the attention of the average visitor, so you don't want this time to be spent with them just waiting for your site to load.
Website Security
We'll check the security of your website and make sure that you have good protection in place to secure your data as well as the data belonging to your customers. Where there are any issues, we'll make a note of these and provide recommendations for fixes. This is an important step as an insecure website is a ticking timebomb.
WordPress Review
We'll carry out a full review of your WordPress website, looking at how it has been put together, the plugins used and the active theme. We'll specifically be looking for elements that are outdated or not maintained as these will present a security risk to your business. Any issues will be noted, along with their potential impact.
PDF Report With Action Points
Once we have completed the Care Plan Audit we will create and send over a PDF report document, with included action points. This will let you know any items that need resolving on your website to improve the design, user experience, website performance, security and any errors that we've found.
1 Hour Inclusive Time
We include 1 hour of our time to assist you with resolving any action points that we've found as part of the Website Audit. If you need more time than we've included, we can assist with further action points at our standard hourly rate. We'll tackle the most important issues first, as these are the ones that will be most critical for your business.
Our Clients Said...
Dave and his team maintain several of our websites through their website care packages. It’s a relief to know that all the ‘backend’ stuff is taken care of such as making sure the site is secure, updated etc and backed up daily. Dave has also been incredible whenever there is an issue. He’s onto it pronto and is obviously extremely knowledgeable. Investing in VWD’s website care packages is so worthwhile and we’re grateful to have Dave and his team on our 'team'. I very highly recommend their services.
We are a subscription-based vegan meal-kit service, Just Add Vegan, launched in Sydney in October 2021, and we have a complex, largely custom-built website. Signing up to a Vegan Web Design Website Care Plan is one of the best decisions we have made since we launched. Knowing that VWD updates our website when necessary and monitors its performance gives us so much peace of mind. Dave and the team are absolutely amazing. We have had several serious issues with our website, and Dave has helped us out every single time in the shortest possible time. Dave is a genius and a pleasure to work with. He has made himself indispensable to us. We cannot recommend VWD highly enough!
We had a great experience working with Vegan Web Design for our new Veg Society of DC website. Dave Graham took the time to make sure we got the website we wanted, including membership, business and event listing functionality. He was endlessly patient and extremely responsive. It was a very positive experience. Highly recommend!
Dave and the Vegan Web Design just completed a refresh of our website. They did a beautiful job, were professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with. We couldn't be happier with the product that we received. We will be recommending them again and again.
Vegan Web Design's services are amazing, really professional and caring. really great value , their response time is amazing! I highly recommend them 😀
If you want a beautiful website, fantastic customer service and an extremely knowledgable support system - this is where you want to go. Vegan Web Design suggested, supported and delivered and I couldn't recommend them more highly.
Dave and his team are absolute professional experts. They respond quickly and are so easy to work with. They understand all my needs even when I can't explain it well. Dave communicates all aspects of the project clearly and on time. I have no hesitation in recommending Vegan Web Design.
We absolutely loved working with Dave and Thomas. They were fast and super professional and communicated so well with us, considering we are located in NYC. Highly recommend Vegan Web Design!
The best decision I have made for my business so far is going with Vegan Web Design. We spoke with several vegan and non-vegan digital agencies, but I could tell straight away that Dave knew what he was doing and was passionate about it. I was able to sit back and watch Dave and Thomas work their magic with only occasional input from me. The site turned out magically. Thank you, Dave and Thomas! Look forward to continuing to work with you! 🙂
I run The Beet Retreat, a Vegan B&B and Cooking School in the Yarra Ranges Victoria and was recommended VWD and have been really happy with the quality and integrity of their work and response time. Dave always responds quickly and effectively and I experience huge peace of mind knowing my website is in such good hands. Highly recommended!!
I can't thank Dave at Vegan Web Design enough for his assistance in solving my website issues yesterday. I was at wit's end with no idea how to fix the problem which I had created. He walked me through the steps and worked remotely on it for me and brought it back to life! I greatly appreciate the time he gave me and sharing his knowledge. I would thoroughly recommend Vegan Web Design!
It's not very often you can say you were thoroughly satisfied with a service but I am happy to say that I can say that about my interaction with Vegan Web Design. They worked their butt off for me, provided me a website I love that is easy to update and maintain and answered all my questions with patience and knowledge, and all this for a great price. I would thoroughly recommend Vegan Web Design.
Dave helped create and design my wife Rhea's site, The VWord, many years ago. We loved it and it was very successful. Recently her hosting company took the site offline for security issues, but Dave and his team were able to download the site, scan the files, and get it back up at a new hosting site quickly and efficiently! Now the site is back and we can feel better know that it is secure and with a better hosting company. Thanks to Dave and everyone for their help and generous support.
I've had my share of web woes over the past eighteen years -- to the point of thinking, "You're crazy to go with a company in Australia, but what do you have to lose?" Well, what I had to lose was frustration. Dave and his team are meticulous, patient, creative, and as understanding as tech-savvy people can possibly be of someone like me who is so right-brained, I tend to tilt a little. Seriously, I am 100% pleased with these people, their attention to details, their fair pricing, and their keeping me in the loop on everything. I just can't say enough good things. And the part about their being in Australia and my being in Manhattan? It hasn't once been a problem. Sometimes I forget and think they're in Brooklyn.
Dave has been fast, efficient, professional and calm in all of the stressful weeks leading up to going live, and admirably patient, gracious and helpful with our changes since. We are eternally grateful and could not have done this without him - we called him "our lifesaver". The website looks fantastic, professional and has so many features that we didn't even know we could have. We could not have asked for a more amazing company to deal with, and cannot recommend VWD highly enough! Don't even think about using anyone else!!!
