Development · Code Audits

Code audits that show exactly what's in your codebase.

Audit
When you need one

Confidence before you commit.

Taking over a website from another developer? Buying a business with software? Worried your site is slow or insecure? A code audit tells you exactly what you’re dealing with — before you invest further.

Our developers review your code for security holes, performance bottlenecks, outdated dependencies and quality issues, then give you a prioritised, plain-English report and a path forward.

Built with AI?

Vibe coding is easy. Maintaining it is the nightmare.

There’s a saying doing the rounds: building a vibe-coded app is easy — maintaining one is a living nightmare. AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and Lovable let anyone ship a working app in an afternoon. The hard part comes later, when it needs to be secure, stable and actually maintainable.

We review AI-generated and vibe-coded projects with the same rigour as any other codebase: checking for security holes, exposed API keys, missing validation, performance issues and the shortcuts AI loves to take. And when something breaks at 2pm on a deadline, you want someone who can actually find the bug — not an AI confidently rewriting half your app. You keep the speed of building with AI; we make sure it’s production-ready, and that you can keep building on it.

What we work in

We're honest about our lane.

We’re a focused team, not a do-everything shop. We go deep on the stacks below — and an audit is only ever as good as the developers running it, which is why we stick to what we know. If your project’s built on .NET, we’ll be upfront: it’s not our wheelhouse, and we’ll happily point you elsewhere.

PHP

The backbone of WordPress and countless business apps — where most of our audit work lives.

React

Modern front-end apps and interfaces, including the AI-built projects people bring us.

WordPress & WooCommerce

Themes, plugins and stores — the platform most NZ small businesses run on.

JavaScript & MySQL

The JavaScript, APIs and databases that tie a typical web project together.

In good company

Trusted by businesses across New Zealand.

From local trades to established brands — we build for businesses of every size.
