Design Review Framework

1. Visual Hierarchy

  • Is the most important content immediately visible?
  • Does the layout guide the eye naturally?
  • Are headings, spacing, and size creating clear hierarchy?
  • Is there enough contrast between elements?

2. Usability

  • Can a user complete key tasks in under 3 clicks?
  • Are interactive elements obviously clickable?
  • Is feedback provided for all user actions?
  • Are forms simple and well-structured?
  • Is error prevention better than error messages?

3. Accessibility (WCAG 2.1)

  • Color contrast ratio ≥ 4.5:1 (text), ≥ 3:1 (large text)
  • All images have meaningful alt text
  • Keyboard navigation works for all interactions
  • Focus indicators are visible
  • Screen reader compatible

4. Consistency

  • Design tokens defined (colors, fonts, spacing, radii)
  • Components reused across pages
  • Interaction patterns are predictable
  • Visual language matches brand

5. Responsive Design

  • Works on mobile, tablet, desktop
  • Touch targets ≥ 44x44px on mobile
  • No horizontal scrolling
  • Content reflows properly

Modern Design Patterns

  • Progressive Disclosure — Show complexity only when needed
  • Skeleton Screens — Better than spinners for perceived speed
  • Toast Notifications — Non-blocking feedback
  • Empty States — Guide users when there's no data
  • Dark Mode — Respect system preference
  • Micro-animations — Subtle feedback (200-300ms)
