Before & After
01 · My own site
I ran the whole review on my own site first, on the same seven point scorecard, then fixed everything it found and measured again.
Overall site score, out of 100
Security score, out of 100
Dead buttons and links repaired
Google speed score, before and after (measured August 2026)
75 when I first scored it, August 7. My first round of fixes brought it to 88. Then I rebuilt my review tools to measure more of the site, and the stricter scorecard graded the same site 84. I fixed everything the deeper review found, published this page, and on August 9 it stood at 96. Every number in that chain is published on purpose: a score that only moves up in one giant leap is a score you should question.
The dated passes: an opening review on August 7, 2026 scored the site 75, and 88 after my first round of fixes that day. A deeper review the next morning, with a stricter scorecard, scored 84. A measurement against the live site on the evening of August 8 scored 94, and a re-score on August 9, once this page was live, scored 96. The deeper review scored lower than the 88 before it because it measured more, including a manual keyboard and readability check the first pass had skipped. I kept that dip in my own records rather than quietly rounding it away.
When these change, this page changes, and the dates will say when.
It looked finished. Underneath, a visitor would have hit several dead ends.
The work was underneath the design, and every item was measured again afterward rather than assumed.
A site is rarely finished at launch. When an owner comes back and adds something, it becomes a third panel here with its own picture and its own short description.
Scores come from my own seven point website review, each area scored 0 to 100 and rolled into one number. They are directional and exist to show movement, not to claim precision. I promise no search rankings and no revenue outcomes.

How to read this page
That includes the unflattering ones from my own site.
Client stories run only with the client's written permission, and their words are printed as they wrote them.
A website measurement is true on a day, not forever. Estimates are labeled, and anything I did not measure, I do not claim.
Speed is Google's public PageSpeed Insights test, run three times per device with the middle result reported: lab data, not real visitor data. Encryption is graded by Qualys SSL Labs. The inquiry time is a real test message, timed to the inbox.
Every site gets the same seven point review: is it safe, is it fast, can everyone read it, does it work on a phone, can people find it, does it look like one company, and does an inquiry reach the owner. Want the detail behind my numbers? Read the privacy page for what this site collects, or ask me for the full review by email.
I will run the same review on your site at no cost and send you the findings in the same plain language. You keep the report whether or not you hire me.
