Make Your Website Effortless to Use and Impossible to Ignore

The Friction Finder is a focused, diagnostic audit of your website or digital experience. Get clear, prioritized recommendations for what to change to drive conversions and elevate your customer experience.

2-3 weeks

All We Need From You

Most clients spend 2–3 hours total with us across a single week. We handle the heavy lifting and review your site as users would — no CMS or website builder access required. Access is only needed if a redesign follows.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Friction Finder different from a website redesign?

Full website redesigns are needlessly expensive. The Friction Finder is a smart way to identify the 20% of issues causing 80% of your conversion loss, giving you a clear plan of action without overhauling your site.

Will you help us fix the issues you find in our site?

Yes. We can either hand off a clear action plan to your internal team or implement the updates for you through a separate "Web Redesign" engagement.

Will you need access to our site's analytics?

Analytics help, but they’re not required. We evaluate your site using UX best practices, conversion principles, and real-world user journeys to pinpoint friction, even if you don’t have data tools set up or accessible.

What types of sites work best for this audit?

If your website hasn’t been optimized in a while, there’s a good chance you’re leaving results on the table. The Friction Finder audit is designed for any site that wants to improve conversions, whether you’re a startup, a growing business, or an established brand.

Do you also do Friction Finder for apps?

Yes. We can apply the same customer-centered principles and process to any digital experience or tool.

Do you help implement the solutions after the Friction Finder project ends?

Absolutely. Many of our partners use Friction Finder as a starting point before a web or app redesign, or taking action through a Research or Innovation Sprint once the quick wins are implemented.
