FAQPage Schema
How do I get structured design critique for a Figma mockup?

Yes, you can run accessibility and usability checks on UI prototypes by providing a Figma link or screenshot. The critique identifies accessibility issues and usability flaws, assigning severity levels and prioritized layout fixes for flows like onboarding or checkout.

Can I receive design feedback on early exploration stages or only final polish?

You can receive design feedback across any stage from early exploration to final polish. The critique framework adapts to assess written descriptions, rough mockups, or high-fidelity prototypes, ensuring actionable insights regardless of design maturity.

Does the design critique output include visual annotations for usability issues?

The design critique output can include visual annotations by integrating with a visual-explainer. This generates an annotated HTML summary, providing clear before-and-after comparisons and visually highlighted usability issues alongside the standard markdown report.

What is the best way to evaluate visual hierarchy and consistency in a dashboard UI?

The best way to evaluate visual hierarchy and consistency in a dashboard UI is using a structured critique framework. It analyzes first impressions, assesses layout alignment, and provides prioritized recommendations to improve interface clarity and user flow.

Are there limitations when reviewing UI designs through written descriptions instead of screenshots?

Reviewing UI designs through written descriptions may limit the depth of visual hierarchy and accessibility analysis compared to screenshots or Figma links. While structural and usability critiques are still generated, precise layout fixes rely on visual data.
