Website Audit Report: Physician Prompt Engineering

Date: 2025-11-20 Auditor: Antigravity

1. Executive Summary

The Physician Prompt Engineering website is a high-quality, professional educational resource. It features a clean, modern design with a “Medical Professional Palette” that builds trust. The content is well-structured, practical, and directly addresses the target audience’s pain points (documentation burden).

Technically, the site is built on a solid foundation using Jekyll and a custom SCSS design system. It is mobile-responsive and supports dark mode. However, there are a few critical issues (broken links) and several opportunities for improvement in accessibility and performance.

2. Critical Issues (Must Fix)

  • Location: prompt-library.md (Line 78)
  • Issue: The link to “contribute your own” points to /contributions, but the actual page is /support#contribute.
  • Impact: Users trying to contribute will encounter a 404 error.
  • Fix: Update the link to /support#contribute.

2.2 Accessibility Barriers

  • Location: index.md (FAQ Section)
  • Issue: The FAQ accordion headers are div elements with onclick handlers but lack role="button", tabindex="0", and keyboard event listeners (Enter/Space).
  • Impact: Keyboard-only and screen reader users cannot expand the FAQs.
  • Fix: Change div.accordion-header to <button class="accordion-header"> or add ARIA roles and keyboard handlers.

3. Technical Audit

3.1 SEO & Meta Tags

  • Status: Good
  • Details:
    • jekyll-seo-tag is correctly implemented.
    • Title and Description are well-defined in _config.yml.
    • Open Graph image is set to /images/workflow-diagram.png.
  • Recommendation: Ensure sitemap.xml is submitted to Google Search Console.

3.2 Performance

  • Status: Good (with room for improvement)
  • Details:
    • YouTube embeds (in index.md and best-practices.md) use www.youtube-nocookie.com (good for privacy).
    • Issue: Iframes do not have loading="lazy".
  • Recommendation: Add loading="lazy" to all iframes to improve initial page load speed.

3.3 Mobile Responsiveness

  • Status: Excellent
  • Details:
    • The custom SCSS (style.scss) uses a mobile-first approach.
    • Typography scales appropriately (--font-size-* variables).
    • Navigation adapts to a hamburger menu on mobile (via dropdown.js).

3.4 Dark Mode

  • Status: Excellent
  • Details:
    • Comprehensive dark mode support via @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark).
    • Colors are thoughtfully overridden to reduce eye strain (muted blues/teals).

4. Content & Design Audit

4.1 Professionalism & Trust

  • Strengths:
    • Color Palette: The “Medical Professional Palette” (Blues, Teals, Clean Whites) is appropriate and calming.
    • Copy: The writing is concise, professional, and speaks the language of physicians (“A&P”, “MDM”, “Burnout”).
    • Social Proof: The “Clinical Responsibility Notice” adds credibility and safety awareness.

4.2 User Experience (UX)

  • Strengths:
    • Copy to Clipboard: The prompt library features a functional “Copy” button with visual feedback (“Copied!”), which is excellent UX.
    • Navigation: Clear and logical structure.
  • Weaknesses:
    • Inline Styles: Several pages (index.md, prompt-library.md) use inline styles (e.g., style="text-align: center..."). This makes maintenance harder and can lead to inconsistencies.

5. Recommendations

High Priority

  1. Fix the Broken Link: Correct /contributions to /support#contribute in prompt-library.md.
  2. Fix FAQ Accessibility: Refactor the FAQ accordion in index.md to use semantic <button> elements.

Medium Priority

  1. Lazy Load Embeds: Add loading="lazy" to YouTube and Google Form iframes.
  2. Refactor CSS: Move inline styles from Markdown files into utility classes in style.scss (e.g., .text-center, .mb-4).
  3. Standardize “Contribute” Link: Ensure the footer and other pages consistently link to /support#contribute.

Low Priority

  1. Enhance 404 Page: Create a custom 404.html layout to guide lost users back to the library.
  2. Add “Last Updated” Dates: Add a last_modified_at to prompt pages to show currency.

6. Conclusion

The website is in very good shape. It fulfills its goal of being a professional, helpful resource. Addressing the accessibility issues and the broken link will polish it to a high standard. The underlying code structure is sound and maintainable.
