What are design checklists for?

Design checklists turn tacit “did we think of everything?” questions into a repeatable pass you can run before a launch or a major feature. Checklist Design focuses on the kinds of web and product surfaces teams ship every week: public marketing sites, app shells, and multi-step operations where small misses create support tickets. The experience at https://www.checklist.design/ is built with Framer; content and structure can evolve with surveys and new releases, so the exact count of lists and the depth of each item can change. Uwarp only frames the public web app. When you also see a beta such as a voting or prioritization product mentioned on the same domain, treat it as a separate surface with its own terms.

What the site is built around

Structured checklists for common digital product surfaces, not generic blog tips.

  1. Website checklists: Page-level reviews such as home, search, sign up, cart, and blog help you line up content, navigation, and goal paths.
  2. Component checklists: Blocks such as cards, checkboxes, drawers, modals, and tables nudge you on states, feedback, and layout edge cases.
  3. Flow checklists: End-to-end flows such as uploading media, entering a promo code, or canceling a subscription help you think through error and recovery paths.
  4. Topics and brand lenses: Cross-cutting items cover responsiveness, dark mode, copy quality, and brand elements such as logo and voice.
  5. Figma plugin path: The marketing site advertises a Figma plugin to bring the same checklist style into the canvas. Follow the in-product instructions on checklist.design to install and connect it.
  6. Account for saved work: The interface references saving progress, which can require a login. Use a team policy for shared accounts if you use it in a company workspace.

How to work through a list

A practical review loop for teams.

  1. Pick the right scope: Start from flows when the risk is end-to-end, from components when you are polishing a system, and from site maps when the whole marketing funnel is in scope.
  2. Check real states: Open production or staging, not only mockups, and walk loading, success, and failure in each checklist area.
  3. File issues with context: Tie each gap to a screen capture, a URL, and the checklist item you failed so engineering can fix without guesswork.
  4. Re-run after fixes: Run the same list after release candidates so regressions do not hide behind new copy or layout tweaks.

Tips for better checklist reviews

Get signal without turning reviews into box-ticking only.

  1. Pair with user research: Checklists do not replace usability tests; they help you not forget obvious issues before you test.
  2. Add locale and compliance: Extend the base lists with your legal, tax, and localization requirements when you ship in many regions.
  3. Keep accessibility separate but linked: Use your WCAG or internal a11y checklist in the same sprint so two passes do not conflict.

Great for

People who own quality before a release or redesign.

  1. Product designers: Standardize pre-release self-review and design QA with developers.
  2. Engineers: Use the same language as design when discussing gaps and states.
  3. Design leads: Drop links into a team handbook as a default review baseline.
  4. Agencies: Onboard junior designers to common web patterns across client work.

Why keep a public checklist resource open

Reasons teams bookmark Checklist Design instead of a private doc alone.

  1. Shared vocabulary: Named sections align critique with the parts of a real product.
  2. Faster handoff: Fewer back-and-forth “did you think about the error case?” questions.
  3. Ongoing maintenance: The public site can add items as product expectations change, independent of your internal wiki age.
