    Scored only across the areas you select. Example figures shown.

    Top priorities

      Example of report structure. Your findings come from your own site.

      Diagnose the business, then build the system you own.

      If the website is how the work gets done, start by reading it. Baraka Hall is a private studio for websites, commerce and operational infrastructure. We read what the site says to buyers, what search and answer engines can quote, and what the business is quietly renting. Scope is decided after diagnosis, not before.

      Suggested next step

      Owned infrastructure may be commercially worth assessing. App spend at this level usually comes with attribution gaps and operational friction.

      Portfolio work

      A brand that stopped renting its stack.

      Kerfume is a premium fragrance brand and a Baraka Valley Holdings portfolio brand implementation, not an independent client. Baraka Hall consolidated its storefront, checkout, admin, email, rewards, stock, SEO and tracking into one operating layer, with significant recurring cost avoidance modelled against comparable app-heavy alternatives. Modelled, not a revenue claim, and not a promise of the same result elsewhere.

      One owned layer

      Storefront, checkout, admin, email, rewards, stock, SEO and tracking, instead of a rented app per function.

      What an audit looks like

      A sample of what the diagnosis returns.

      Layout is illustrative. Findings, severity and recommended action for each layer of the system. Real audits are scoped to your site and stack.

      • Stock

        Inventory drift between storefront and back office of approximately 4 to 7 percent on fast movers.

        Single stock source on the database. Storefront, checkout, and feeds read from one ledger.

      • Tracking

        Client-side pixels firing twice on thank-you page. Refunds not deducted from reported revenue.

        Server-side conversion API from Stripe webhooks. Transaction ID dedupe. Refund events wired in.

      • Email

        Abandoned checkout flow ends after one reminder. No browse-abandon, no win-back, no replenish.

        Lifecycle suite: cart, browse, checkout, post-purchase, replenish, win-back, with deliverability monitoring.

      • SEO and AI visibility

        No JSON-LD on product or service pages. llms.txt missing. Sitemap stale.

        Structured data on all key pages. Sitemap with lastmod. llms.txt aligned to high-intent queries.

      Illustrative example. Sample structure only. Not a real client report.

      The audit-first journey

      One pathway in. Diagnosis first, every time.

      Builds, AI workflows and care plans are scoped only after the audit. That keeps the work honest and the scope real.

      1. 01

        Diagnose

        We read the stack, costs, data flow and tracking before any recommendation.

      2. 02

        Decide

        Written plan of what to keep, connect, replace or rebuild. No blind quotes.

      3. 03

        Build

        Storefront, source of truth, admin and integrations scoped from the audit.

      4. 04

        Operate

        Migrate, verify, document and improve under a managed operating layer.

      A private studio. We read the public site first, then write what is actually broken before anyone talks about build.

      Questions

      Before you buy an audit.

      What does the £5 audit actually include?

      You enter your website URL, choose the modules you want checked, optionally add competitor URLs and a short note, and receive a structured PDF report with scores, findings, and a recommended fix plan.

      How long does an audit take?

      It depends which one you buy.

      The private website audit runs on our own audit system, which applies the Baraka Hall diagnostic checklists to your site and returns a scored PDF. Audits typically complete in 5 to 25 minutes. Your private status page shows progress. This is a typical range, not a service level agreement.

      A business or systems audit is scoped work. One to three days once the scope is clear.

      A deep audit takes one to two weeks. That is the one that looks at where AI implementation actually fits, where the business is losing time, and what a transformation would involve.

      For the scoped work, the pace is set by access and answers rather than by our queue. Logins, numbers and quick replies are what move it.

      Do I have to buy a build after the audit?

      No. You receive a written report that you can act on yourself, hand to another team, or use when discussing implementation with Baraka Hall. There is no obligation to continue.

      Do you work with platforms other than Shopify?

      Yes. Shopify is common but not required. A business may leave Shopify, retain it for checkout, or remain on the platform with a tighter operating layer. The audit identifies which route appears most appropriate.

      Is the audit written by AI or a human consultant?

      The paid website audit runs on a purpose-built Baraka Hall audit system. It is not a person typing, and it is not a generic chatbot answering a prompt. It applies our own diagnostic checklists to your site, scores each module you paid for against them, and cites the specific pages and elements behind every finding.

      That is what makes it fast and consistent. Every report is held to the same standard, in the same order, with nothing skipped.

      The self-serve audits, Build, Complete and Executive, are automated and do not include human review by default. Executive is not a human audit. A separate human consultant diagnostic starts from £99 and is scoped after the read.

      Do you guarantee results?

      No. No serious studio can guarantee revenue or rankings. We can identify the issues that may be affecting trust, clarity, search visibility, AI readability, conversion flow, tracking accuracy, and customer recovery, and fix them properly.
