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)
