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.
No build proposal before the system has been read.
Three ways people arrive, one record of the night. Reviews feed back into the menu site instead of dying in an inbox.
Reference models. Your scope is set after the audit.

Client work
A client stopped renting their stack.
Kerfume is a premium fragrance brand and a Baraka Hall client. After we built their owned operating layer, they confirmed a saving of over £4,000 a month against the app-heavy stack it replaced. That figure is their operating cost, not a revenue claim, and not a promise that every brand saves the same.

Suggested next step
Owned infrastructure may be commercially worth assessing. App spend at this level usually comes with attribution gaps and operational friction.
This calculator estimates visible software cost only. It does not include staff time, missed recovery, tracking errors, or platform limitations.

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.
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.

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 within about 15 minutes of checkout. No call to book, no queue.
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 and a walkthrough. You can act on it yourself, hand it to another team, or commission Baraka Hall for the build. There is no obligation to continue.
- Do you work with platforms other than Shopify?
Yes. Shopify is common but not required. Some clients leave Shopify entirely, some keep Shopify for checkout while owning everything around it, and some stay on Shopify with a tighter build and better tracking. The audit decides the right path for your business.
- 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.
Scoped engagements are different. Business audits, systems audits and deep diagnostics are human work, led by Sam, and priced 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.
