A design review is a collaborative session where your team evaluates app designs—including screens, user flows, and UI components—to ensure clarity, usability, visual consistency, and technical feasibility before development starts.
Helps identify and fix design issues before coding begins
Ensures alignment between business goals and user experience
Saves time and cost by reducing redesign during development
Facilitates smoother handoffs to developers with validated UI specs
Improves accessibility, branding, and overall polish of the final product
Finalising wireframes, mockups, or prototypes
Aligning stakeholders and developers on visual direction
Reviewing accessibility and usability compliance
Validating UI components against design systems
Preparing for a design sprint or a developer handoff
In the project, regular design reviews were held with stakeholders to assess screen flow, brand alignment, and accessibility. This ensured the final product was intuitive, on-brand, and developer-ready, improving launch confidence.
“Design reviews aren’t just about aesthetics—they're a critical checkpoint to avoid wasting dev hours. Start them early and repeat them often.”
UI Consistency Score – Measures adherence to a unified style
Accessibility Score – Checks whether the design meets WCAG standards
