Sometimes the site looks ready, but inside there are accumulated errors: forms send letters to the old address, services are not updated, some sections do not work well from the phone. Before reworking, you need to understand the state of the project.

Check the critical

Whether the company has access, whether the domain works, whether key pages are opened, whether leads reach and whether data is stored. For a catalog site, check out several typical cards and product updates. This helps to separate urgent malfunctions from desires to design.

Make two lists

The first is problems that interfere with the sales or operation of the site right now. The second is development: new pages, texts, design, SEO. If you mix them into a single “fix everything” task, it is difficult to estimate the deadline and see the result.

Decide what to keep

Visited pages, cases, materials and working integrations can be valuable even on a failed site. After the audit, the cost of corrections and a new project are compared.

Post-effect can conduct a technical and substantive audit, then suggest recovery steps. Send a link and tell me what worries you the most. Service: audit and revision of the site.
