Why it matters

Most websites look good.
Fewer actually sell.

📉

You're losing customers silently

Traffic arrives but sales don't follow — and the gap between them is invisible until someone who knows where to look points it out.

✦ An audit makes the invisible visible
🔍

You can't fix what isn't diagnosed

A developer can build what you brief — but they can't tell you why visitors hesitate, abandon, or leave confused. That's a different discipline.

✦ Diagnosis before development
🌍

Generic advice misses your context

Every business has a different customer, a different journey, and a different bottleneck. Including businesses that serve both English and Arabic-speaking markets.

✦ Tailored audit, English & Arabic

Why ZED Works

What makes the difference.

🌍

Bilingual & MENA-Market Expertise

Audits in English and Arabic with deep understanding of MENA cultural nuances — one of very few consultancies that can do both.

🧠

Psychology-Led Analysis

A background in psychology means audits go beyond aesthetics — into why people hesitate, what builds trust, and where the mental friction lives.

Results in 3 Business Days

Comprehensive, expert-level audit delivered faster than most agencies return a quote. Quality without the wait.

💬

Zero Jargon, Every Time

Plain business language throughout — so you can make informed decisions without needing a UX degree to read the report.

Common Questions

Answered honestly.

Is this right for my business?

If you have a website that should be generating more sales or enquiries than it currently does, the answer is almost certainly yes. The audit works for e-commerce stores, service businesses, and apps — any digital product with a customer journey.

How is a UX audit different from a developer review?

Developers focus on what's built and how it functions. A UX audit focuses on how real people experience it — where they get confused, where they lose confidence, and where they leave. These are two different disciplines. Most conversion problems are UX problems, not technical ones.

What do I actually receive?

A visual report with annotated screenshots, plain-English explanations of each issue, and a prioritised list of recommendations — ordered by impact so you know what to fix first. Delivered within 3 business days of your consultation.

What if I'm not ready to book a call?

Download the free UX checklist and start evaluating your own site. It's a good first step — and if you spot things you can't explain or fix, that's usually the signal to get in touch.

If it turns out an audit isn't the right fit, Zainab will tell you that too.

The £1,000 Jacket That No One Could Buy Online

+17%Conversion Rate

−24%Bounce Rate

The Challenge

Aero Leather Clothing is a heritage brand making premium leather jackets — some priced over £1,000. The craftsmanship was exceptional. The website was letting it down quietly.

Traffic was arriving. Sales weren't following. The gap was invisible to the team — until it wasn't.

The Approach

A full UX audit covered every step of the customer journey: product listings, product detail pages, and checkout. The audit identified friction across all three: unclear navigation, overwhelming product options with no hierarchy, and a checkout process missing the trust signals premium buyers need before committing four figures.

Key UI components were redesigned to reduce friction and build confidence at the moment of purchase — without losing the brand's heritage character.

The Results

After implementing the recommendations: conversion rate up 17%. Revenue up 30%. Bounce rate down 24%.

"Zainab's UX design enhancements significantly improved our website's look and functionality, leading to a 30% increase in sales and better customer perception. We're thrilled with the results."

The Challenge

RKBT is a football start-up with an ambitious vision: an everything casual football webapp. The challenge was designing a coherent, enjoyable product from nothing — no existing design language, no established flows, no prior product to learn from.

The Approach

The project began with stakeholder workshops to define the Jobs-to-Be-Done (JTBD) framework — understanding exactly what users needed to accomplish and why. From there: user flows, information architecture, wireframes at every fidelity level, and a full design system — built in Figma and handed to the development team with detailed annotations.

The Result

RKBT launched their MVP on schedule with a product that matched the founder's vision and delivered a consistent, enjoyable experience across the full user journey.

I study why people hesitate — and make sure your website stops giving them reasons to.
