You have a business to run. The website is supposed to bring you work. Nobody has ever told you plainly whether it does. Wellkept examines it once, for €79, and sends you the verdict by email within the hour. No meeting. No retainer. Nothing else for sale.
If we cannot examine your site, the payment comes back automatically. You are told why either way.
Your web person says the site is grand. An agency says you need a new one. A retainer bought you reports you never opened. You still do not know if the thing that is meant to bring you work actually works.
Every free audit you have ever been offered turned into a pitch. So you stopped asking, because asking is how the selling starts. That instinct is correct. It just leaves you with no answer.
You should not have to hire an agency to find out whether your own website is fine. A car gets an NCT. A set of accounts gets an audit. A website should get the same: one examination, one verdict, no pitch.
We know why you do not trust this industry. Its audits exist to open a sale, and the customer can never check the working. Wellkept was built to be the opposite of that.
Wellkept is run by the operator of vendors.ie, tenderwatch.ie and leinsterinsider.ie. Your site gets the same examination those sites are held to. Every finding shows the evidence behind it, so you are never asked to take anyone’s word.
And there is no follow-on work here to sell you. We do not fix websites, so the report has no reason to find more wrong than there is. That is the whole design.
Type your web address and where to send the report. That is everything we need. We never ask for passwords, and nothing gets installed on your site. We look at it the way a customer does: from outside.
About twenty checks run against the site your customers see. How long a phone waits for it. Whether the browser shows the padlock or calls you Not Secure. Whether your emails actually arrive or land in spam. Buttons and forms that lead nowhere. What Google is told about your business.
By email, within the hour, usually within ten minutes. Every finding in plain English, with the evidence behind it, and a fix list ordered by what is costing you most. You can hand it to any web person and they can act on it.
One thing worth knowing.The words in your report were written in advance by a person. The numbers are measurements from your live site. Nothing in it exists to set up a sale.
Or read exactly what gets checked first: all of it, and what a finding looks like.
Five of the report’s checks run on their own, plus a cost calculator. Built from the report’s own code and wording, on smaller budgets. No payment, no email address. They all live at the website checker.
Is your site up right now, for everyone? One request from our server settles it: up or down, how fast it answered, in seconds.
Run itWhether browsers show your site as secure or warn people away, and when that runs out. This is the SSL certificate, checked live.
Run itHow long a customer on a phone waits before your page shows up, and what is causing it. Slow pages lose people before they ever ring you.
Run itWhether your emails actually arrive, or land in spam. Read live from your domain records (SPF, DKIM and DMARC). Fixable in an afternoon.
Run itWe crawl your pages and test every link. The dead ones get listed, each with the page it sits on. Links rot on other people’s schedules.
Run itFive questions, an honest price band out. Including the answer "less than anyone is trying to sell you".
Run itNothing dramatic happens. You keep guessing. You keep paying someone to interpret what the last someone said. If the enquiry form is swallowing messages, it keeps swallowing them, and the quiet weeks keep looking like quiet weeks.
You know what is wrong, in plain words, with the evidence beside it. You know what each fix involves and roughly what it should cost. You have one page to hand your web person on Monday. The argument about whether the site is fine is over.
What each finding means and what fixing it involves, written so you can hold any provider to it. Including us.
