Web Design Reviewer

This skill enables visual inspection and validation of website design quality, identifying and fixing issues at the source code level.

Scope of Application

  • Static sites (HTML/CSS/JS)
  • SPA frameworks such as React / Vue / Angular / Svelte
  • Full-stack frameworks such as Next.js / Nuxt / SvelteKit
  • CMS platforms such as WordPress / Drupal
  • Any other web application

Prerequisites

Required

  1. Target website must be running

    • Local development server (e.g., http://localhost:3000)
    • Staging environment
    • Production environment (for read-only reviews)
  2. Browser automation must be available

    • Screenshot capture
    • Page navigation
    • DOM information retrieval
  3. Access to source code (when making fixes)

    • Project must exist within the workspace

    C --> D[Step 4: Re-verification]
    D --> E{Issues Remaining?}
    E -->|Yes| B
    E -->|No| F[Completion Report]

Step 1: Information Gathering Phase

1.1 URL Confirmation

If the URL is not provided, ask the user:

Please provide the URL of the website to review (e.g., http://localhost:3000)

1.2 Understanding Project Structure

When making fixes, gather the following information:

ItemExample Question
FrameworkAre you using React / Vue / Next.js, etc.?
Styling MethodCSS / SCSS / Tailwind / CSS-in-JS, etc.
Source LocationWhere are style files and components located?
Review ScopeSpecific pages only or entire site?

1.3 Automatic Project Detection

Attempt automatic detection from files in the workspace:

Detection targets:
├── package.json     → Framework and dependencies
├── tsconfig.json    → TypeScript usage
├── tailwind.config  → Tailwind CSS
├── next.config      → Next.js
├── vite.config      → Vite
├── nuxt.config      → Nuxt
└── src/ or app/     → Source directory

1.4 Identifying Styling Method

MethodDetectionEdit Target
Pure CSS*.css filesGlobal CSS or component CSS
SCSS/Sass*.scss, *.sassSCSS files
CSS Modules*.module.cssModule CSS files
Tailwind CSStailwind.config.*className in components
styled-componentsstyled. in codeJS/TS files
Emotion@emotion/ importsJS/TS files
CSS-in-JS (other)Inline stylesJS/TS files

Step 2: Visual Inspection Phase

2.1 Page Traversal

  1. Navigate to the specified URL
  2. Capture screenshots
  3. Retrieve DOM structure/snapshot (if possible)
  4. If additional pages exist, traverse through navigation

2.2 Inspection Items

Layout Issues

IssueDescriptionSeverity
Element OverflowContent overflows from parent element or viewportHigh

No Focus StateCannot determine state during keyboard navigationHigh
Missing alt TextNo alternative text for imagesMedium

Visual Consistency

IssueDescriptionSeverity
Font InconsistencyMixed font familiesMedium

Spacing InconsistencyNon-uniform spacing between similar elementsLow

2.3 Viewport Testing (Responsive)

Test at the following viewports:

NameWidthRepresentative Device
Mobile375pxiPhone SE/12 mini
Tablet768pxiPad
Desktop1280pxStandard PC
Wide1920pxLarge display

Step 3: Issue Fixing Phase

3.1 Issue Prioritization

block-beta
    columns 1
    block:priority["Priority Matrix"]
        P1["P1: Fix Immediately\n(Layout issues affecting functionality)"]
        P2["P2: Fix Next\n(Visual issues degrading UX)"]
        P3["P3: Fix If Possible\n(Minor visual inconsistencies)"]
    end

3.2 Identifying Source Files

Identify source files from problematic elements:

  1. Selector-based Search

    • Search codebase by class name or ID
    • Explore style definitions with grep_search
  2. Component-based Search

    • Identify components from element text or structure
    • Explore related files with semantic_search
  3. File Pattern Filtering

    Style files: src/**/*.css, styles/**/*
    Components: src/components/**/*
    Pages: src/pages/**, app/**
    

3.3 Applying Fixes

Framework-specific Fix Guidelines

See references/framework-fixes.md for details.

Fix Principles

  1. Minimal Changes: Only make the minimum changes necessary to resolve the issue
  2. Respect Existing Patterns: Follow existing code style in the project
  3. Avoid Breaking Changes: Be careful not to affect other areas
  4. Add Comments: Add comments to explain the reason for fixes where appropriate

Step 4: Re-verification Phase

4.1 Post-fix Confirmation

  1. Reload browser (or wait for development server HMR)
  2. Capture screenshots of fixed areas
  3. Compare before and after

4.2 Regression Testing

  • Verify that fixes haven't affected other areas
  • Confirm responsive display is not broken

4.3 Iteration Decision

flowchart TD
    A{Issues Remaining?}
    A -->|Yes| B[Return to Step 2]
    A -->|No| C[Proceed to Completion Report]

Iteration Limit: If more than 3 fix attempts are needed for a specific issue, consult the user

Best Practices

DO (Recommended)

  • ✅ Always save screenshots before making fixes
  • ✅ Fix one issue at a time and verify each
  • ✅ Follow the project's existing code style
  • ✅ Confirm with user before major changes
  • ✅ Document fix details thoroughly

DON'T (Not Recommended)

  • ❌ Large-scale refactoring without confirmation
  • ❌ Ignoring design systems or brand guidelines
  • ❌ Fixes that ignore performance
  • ❌ Fixing multiple issues at once (difficult to verify)

Troubleshooting

Problem: Style files not found

  1. Check dependencies in package.json
  2. Consider the possibility of CSS-in-JS
  3. Consider CSS generated at build time
  4. Ask user about styling method

Problem: Fixes not reflected

  1. Check if development server HMR is working
  2. Clear browser cache
  3. Rebuild if project requires build
  4. Check CSS specificity issues

Problem: Fixes affecting other areas

  1. Rollback changes
  2. Use more specific selectors
  3. Consider using CSS Modules or scoped styles
  4. Consult user to confirm impact scope
