Human review · $499 · one page
A person reads your website and tells you what is wrong with it.
I read your page the way a first-time visitor would. I write down every problem I find and how to fix each one. Then I draw a picture of how the page should look, and explain that picture on video. Then we talk for fifteen minutes.
- ✓ Three business days
- ✓ Yours to keep and pass on
- ✓ Your designer can build straight from it
What you get
Four things. Three of them arrive in one email; the fourth is a phone call. I make all four myself. No part of this is written or drawn by a machine.
- 1
The report
Every problem I find on the page, worst first. Each one says what is wrong, why a visitor cares, and what to do about it. Plain enough to hand to a developer, and specific enough for them to start.
- 2
The picture
A drawing of your page with the problems fixed. Arguments about layout drag on for weeks in email. They end when everyone is looking at the same picture. You can point at what you want instead of describing it.
- 3
The video
Five minutes of me talking over the picture. I go from the top of the page to the bottom and say what I changed, what I left alone, and why. Short enough to send to your team.
- 4
The call
Fifteen minutes on the phone, after you have read it all. Disagree with me. Some of what I suggest will not fit, because I cannot see how your business works from the outside. On the call we sort out what to do first.
Think of it as insurance on your website budget
Agencies I have dealt with quote anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 for a new website. You approve it after seeing it for ten minutes in a presentation. Then you wait a year and read your sales numbers to find out whether it worked.
The build is rarely what costs you the most. The year you spend not knowing costs more, and so does the second build you pay for afterwards.
$499 gets you a second opinion before you sign, or a written verdict after you launch. You end up with a document that says what works, what does not, and how the page should look.
Every designer I have shown this to has wanted it
Not one has taken it badly. Three reasons they give.
It gives them something to fix
A client who says "I don't like it" has given the designer nothing to act on. An outside reviewer who says "the headline doesn't say what you sell" has given them something to fix on Monday morning.
It makes the work easier to defend
An outside opinion backs the designer up when a client starts second-guessing. A few designers I work with now put a review into their own proposals, as the check at the end.
Cheaper early than late
Bring me in once there is a draft worth looking at, again before launch, then every few months. Changing a draft is cheap. Changing a page people are already using is not.
If you run a studio and want this for every client site, email me for agency pricing.
We also sell a $29 robot. Buy that one first.
It is fast and it finds the obvious problems. Most people need nothing more than that.
The $29 AI audit
- Written by AI, emailed in a couple of hours
- Finds broken links, slow pages and writing nobody can follow
- Checks the same six areas on every site
- No picture of the fix
- No one to talk it over with
The $499 human review
- Written by me, after I have read your page
- Decisions: what to cut, what to say first, what to charge for
- Built around your business, not a checklist
- A picture of the fix, and a video explaining it
- Fifteen minutes on the phone to argue with me
How it goes
You ask
Fill in the form below: your website, your email, and a line about what worries you.
I reply within one business day
With a price and a start date, or with a reason not to buy this. If your page is not a good fit I will say so instead of taking the money.
Three business days later, the email arrives
Report, picture and video, all in one message.
Then we talk for fifteen minutes
At a time you pick, once you have read it. You keep everything and can hand any of it to your agency.
When I will tell you not to buy this
- The page is still changing this week. I need something that will hold still long enough to review. A draft is fine. A page somebody is editing while I read it is not.
- You want the site built. I review it and I draw it. Building it is somebody else's job.
- You already know what is wrong. Spend the $499 on fixing it. You would be paying me to agree with you.
- Nobody on your side can make changes. If there is no one to do the work, the report will sit in a folder. Sort that out first.
- ✓ The written report — every problem I find, worst first, with a fix for each
- ✓ A picture of how the page should look
- ✓ A five-minute video explaining the picture
- ✓ Fifteen minutes on the phone, at a time you pick
- ✓ Report, picture and video in three business days
- ✓ Yours to keep and send to whoever built your site
You pay nothing here. I send an invoice once we have agreed on the work. If the report gives you no improvement you can act on, you get all your money back — the same guarantee that covers everything else we sell (terms).
Ask about your site
Nothing is charged here. I read what you send and look at your page. Within one business day you get a price and a start date, or a reason not to buy this.
Questions
Who is "a person", exactly?
Me — Adam Koszek. I built GazeSite and I write these reviews myself. For a short account of why, read Why I built it. For my full background, read my LinkedIn profile.
Is the picture a working website?
No. It is a drawing. You hand it to a developer and they build the page from it, the same way they would work from any design.
Can I show this to the agency that built my site?
Yes, and you should. I write every report so you can forward it: no jargon and no jokes at anyone's expense. It is about the page itself.
One page, or the whole site?
One page. Almost always the homepage, because that is where most visitors arrive. Say so in the form if a different page is the one that matters to you. More pages costs more — ask and I will price it.
What if you tell me my site is fine?
Then that is what I will tell you, and it is worth knowing before you pay somebody to rebuild it. Some pages need three small changes and some need thirty. If yours genuinely needs none, the guarantee covers you: nothing you can act on, no charge.
Do you do this on a schedule?
Yes, and it is how most of the designers I work with use it. They ask for one once there is a draft, another before launch, then one every few months. Email me and we will fit it around however often you change the site.
Why would I pay $499 when the audit is $29?
Mostly you should not. Buy the $29 one first. Come back here when the audit has told you what is broken and you still do not know what the page should say or what it should look like. The robot finds problems. It does not make decisions.
