          Thomas,

          I don't think all of these meet what the OP is asking for. Most of these sites are for prototyping or user testing, and not for examining an existing site for SEO.

            Are you asking about an existing site that's already in use? What could help then is doing a site audit. We have two Moz posts that have a lot of information about how to do an audit and uncover potential SEO flaws.

            http://moz.com/blog/how-to-perform-the-worlds-greatest-seo-audit

            http://moz.com/blog/how-to-do-a-site-audit

            Or are you asking if a potential site/theme/template is SEO friendly?

              When I want a fast general overview of a website SEO Potential, I check using 2 Moz Tools, On-Page Grader and Open Site explorer... plus a get a traffic estimate from some spy tool like similarweb.com However a full audit is need to know deeper about a website.

                I apologize I literally thought he was speaking about the way a website looks or its UX  When you say website design did you mean more than the actual way the site looks? I gave him the links to a bunch of tools that used appropriately can teach someone quite a bit about at the usability of a website. I did not think that the question was regarding a site audit.

                Varun  I apologize and misunderstood your question. If you want more information on how to audit your site definitely follow the links that Keri has already giving you.

                obviously you want to see if your site is experiencing issues that would be threatening to your websites user experience however I would start with making sure that it crawls well running a campaign here in Moz

                another quick tool that you can use that I'm happy to see back is

                https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test

                screaming frog SEO spider is a fantastic tool to diagnose issues with your site architecture. You can download it for free, and it will crawl up to 500 pages after that you have to pay 100  British pounds which currently is about close to $160 USD as of this post.

                that will allow you to have all the features that the tool advertises. Using that with the http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/screaming-frog-guide

                is a powerful combination.

                I thought you literally meant design and UX Only.

                All the best,

                Thomas

                  here are some great instructions on how to perform a site audit rather it be large or small.

                  Using the campaign tool here on Moz essentially if you pay attention to everything it does it will deliver a very good site audit in many ways.

                  http://analytics.moz.com/pro/home

                  https://www.distilled.net/blog/seo/do-your-very-own-site-structure-audit/

                  http://moz.com/blog/visual-guide-to-keyword-targeting-onpage-optimization

                  https://www.distilled.net/blog/seo/how-to-do-a-5-step-site-audit/

                  https://www.distilled.net/blog/seo/beginners-guide-doing-a-site-audit-using-google-webmaster-tools/

                  https://www.distilled.net/blog/seo/how-to-perform-a-content-audit/

                  I know Raven tools have a UX site audit part of their offering however I cannot tell you if it is spot on or not.

                  http://raventools.com/marketing-tools/seo-software/site-auditor/

                  Again I recommend using screaming frog hopefully this is more beneficial to you.

                  Sincerely,

                  Thomas

                    Hi Keri,

                    I am asking about  "site/theme/template is SEO friendly?" Is there any tool for that?

                      Structured data - Schema is Good for SEO !

                      So ...
                      Check if structured data aka schema, microdata is being used on any given web page with webmaster tools <a>www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets</a>

                      If you are trying to improve the page you can also use the Structured Data Markup Helper - html conversion tool to have Google auto-add schema to the page after you choose the relevant category:
                      <a>https://www.google.com/webmasters/markup-helper/</a>

                      This is of course just one more method to use in addition to others mentioned.
