Fewer visual regressions
Catch spacing, color, and component drift before users do.
Design Mode runs a practical UI audit - tokens, contrast, motion, and component consistency - so shipped screens match your bar.
Use Design Mode when visual quality and accessibility are part of “done,” not an afterthought.
Findings: - 3 cells fail contrast at AA on hover state - Skip link missing on narrow breakpoint Fix plan: - Tokenize hover colors - Add skip link + landmark order Verify: - Re-run audit on breakpoints sm/md/lg
Catch spacing, color, and component drift before users do.
Issues are listed with concrete remediation - not vague advice.
Findings sit beside diffs so implementation stays traceable.

Re-check critical states after fixes land.
No. It accelerates mechanical checks and consistency; taste and product judgment still lead.
No. It helps catch common issues early; your legal and accessibility program still owns attestation.
Yes. Design focuses on UI structure; Review can cover broader quality signals on the same change.
Pick one high-traffic UI surface with clear owners and re-check after one release cycle.
