Your online presence that truly works.

A 60-minute website check that shows you what works and what you need to change right now to become more visible to collectors, curators, and promoters.

100 % industry-specific · Directly actionable · System-independent

Your website is live. But something is not quite right.

Visitors land on your page – but nobody books or gets in touch. You are not sure whether your art achieves the right effect online. Your portfolio feels confusing or overwhelming to outsiders. You wonder why gallerists, curators, or promoters do not respond.

That is exactly what the Stage Check is for.

What the Stage Check concretely delivers

Impact check: We show the first impression you truly make – visual language, story, and the path to contact or purchase.

UX & SEO basics: We improve your discoverability with supporters, collectors, and promoters – navigation, headings, meta data, internal links.

Performance & tech: We optimize loading times, mobile behavior, and technical foundations (Core Web Vitals, WebP, lazy loading).

Accessibility: We make your art digitally accessible to everyone – alt texts, contrast, readability.

To-do-Liste: Du bekommst klare Schritte, prioritized as quick wins, 14 days, and 90 days.

PDF report: All findings summarized compactly – ideal for immediate implementation or delegation.

You leave with a clear list you can act on immediately – no guesswork.

From the art world. For visibility that does justice to your work.

Art does not happen by accident. It carries attitude, experience, intuition, and its own language. Yet the digital presence often fails to reflect what has long been there artistically: depth, quality, and a clear position.

The Stage Check by Favori Media is a strategic look at your current visibility. We examine how your website, your communication, and your entire digital presence come across – and where your artistic presence is not yet clear enough.

This is not about quick surface fixes. It is about communicating the essence of your work in a way that is clear, professional, and impactful.

So that collectors, curators, galleries, promoters, and cultural partners can more quickly recognize what you stand for – and why your work matters.

→ 4) Delivery: to-do list, meeting recording, and short report

Do you audit every system (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Favori Flow …)?

Yes. The website check is system-independent. We assess structure, content, UX/SEO basics, and performance in every common CMS/builder.

Which SEO topics are covered?

Meta title & description, heading structure (H1–H3), enternal linking, snippets, alt texts, schema basics (e.g. service/FAQ/breadcrumb), and multilingual signals (e.g. hreflang, where present).

What do you check for performance & tech?

We review the most important technical foundations of website performance and user experience. This includes the Core Web Vitals, such as loading speed and layout stability — for example LCP and CLS. We also analyze whether images are integrated in modern formats such as WebP or AVIF, whether content is loaded efficiently through lazy loading, and whether CSS and JavaScript files are placing unnecessary strain on loading times.

Another key focus is the website’s behavior on mobile devices. We check whether the site is easy to use on smartphones and tablets, whether buttons and calls to action are large enough, whether contrasts are sufficiently strong, and whether there are any initial barriers that could prevent visitors from reading, clicking, or making an inquiry. This creates a clear overview of which technical and design-related aspects can improve visibility, loading speed, and the overall user experience.

Do you work internationally?

Yes. We work internationally – remote u0026amp; on-site if requested. Multilingual websites are assessed including basic SEO signals (e.g. hreflang).

Do you need login credentials for my website?

No. For the Stage Check we do not need any logins. If you want quick fixes afterwards, we will sort out access & process separately.

How do I prepare to get the most out of the check?

Send us your URL(s) in advance, your main goals (e.g. more inquiries, shop sales, course bookings), and 2–3 key pages (home, offer, contact). Optional: GA4/Search Console access for more context.

What is the difference from the Marketing Analysis?

The Stage Check is a compact website review. In 60 minutes, we assess impact, user guidance, SEO, and technical foundations. Afterwards, you receive a clear to-do list and a concise short report.

The Marketing Analysis looks at your entire digital marketing system: website, social media, email, and CRM. In 90 minutes, we develop a 90-day roadmap with concrete actions and measurable goals.

Do you also help with implementation and what happens after the check?

Yes. We support you with everything from individual quick fixes to the complete setup of your digital structure — with Favori Media and Favori Flow. The measures are prioritized, implemented directly upon request, and measured based on concrete results, such as faster loading times, more contact clicks, or clearer user guidance.

What if the Stage Check is not helpful for me?

If after our call you feel you did not receive a clear impulse, we will refund your investment. No questions asked.

What we see in stage checks

What we find in almost every check

Based on our work with artists, galleries and cultural projects in the DACH region.

The first impression doesn’t land

Visitors don’t understand within the first five seconds what you do, who you’re for and what they should do next. The quality of the work is there – the website doesn’t convey it.

Not usable on mobile

Over 60 % of visits come from smartphones. Gallerists, curators and event organizers check on the go – and see a page that wasn’t made for that moment.

Google can’t find you

Missing meta titles, no alt texts, no structured page layout – the work is there, the findability isn’t. Anyone searching for you finds someone else.

No clear path to contact

Potential clients want to inquire, book or buy – but find no clear CTA, no form, or a path that’s far too long. The inquiry doesn’t happen – not because the interest is missing, but because the guidance is.
