Fixed price. Two working days. Fourteen hours of work, including brief and debrief. Brand guide, design token coherence, fit for mission, voice, and a backlog for what to do next. Typical delivery within one week from kickoff.

Request the audit

Need WCAG, component coherence, multi-site, or something else outside this scope? Say so in the kickoff or by email. I will price it.

What you get

  • Review or create a brand guide from the live brand.
  • Find where design tokens break on the live product.
  • Judge brand realization against strategy and mission.
  • Compare claimed archetype and tone of voice to the live site.
  • Prioritize what to fix or decide next.

Additional services (examples)

Scoped and priced to need. Not in the base package unless agreed.

  • Find contrast and accessibility failures on the live UI.
  • Find where components diverge across the product.
  • Compare sites or apps side by side for brand drift.

Timeline

Three phases in one week. Fourteen hours total.

  1. 1

    Brief

    2 h

    We agree content and scope on a call. Bring business context, one or two contacts, pages and access for review, and what success looks like for this job. That sets the audit boundary before work starts.

  2. 2

    Audit

    Days 1–210 h

    I immerse in the business, systems, and design maturity on the live product. Brand guide, design token coherence, fit for mission, and voice get a full read. I write the report and run the working meetings needed to keep findings grounded.

  3. 3

    Delivery

    Same week2 h

    We debrief the findings and hand off the documents. You leave with a clear record of what was audited, what to fix or decide next, and how to use the report with your team.

How I work

Client work across agencies, product teams, and in-house systems shows the same failure modes in different shapes. Strength here is getting up to speed fast on a brand, its guide, and what the live site signals.

  1. Tools built for Dembrandt support the read of the live site. Every judgment is mine.
  2. Phases and timing are under Timeline. Kickoff lists what to bring to the brief.
  3. Invoice after delivery. No account, no subscription.
Kickoff / brief

Details for the brief call:

  • Your company and business context
  • One or two contacts (design, development, optionally product strategy)
  • Current design situation and known pain
  • Special wishes or constraints
  • Pages to audit and access (live URL, login, or screenshots)
  • What success looks like for this job

Live URL and the pages that matter. Brand guide if you have one. Behind a login: session, view-only access, or screenshots. Sites that block review access are declined with the reason. robots.txt is honoured.

Who this is for

Agency and consultancy design leads who juggle many client brands, rarely get a usable brand guide, and need a defensible read before a pitch or handoff. Also in-house teams that need an outside view of brand realization, fit, and archetype on the live site. Firms with design challenges, firms raising design maturity, teams that put design first in their software practices, and teams raising or fixing frontend implementation quality. One buyer, expense account, fixed price.
