Free Tool Does Your Product Have These Design Problems? Check every anti-pattern your product has. Free, no login. Just an honest look at what's making your UI feel cheap.
No visual hierarchy
Everything looks the same size and weight. There's no obvious starting point for the eye.
Too many accent colors
More than two brand colors used for UI elements. The interface looks like a rainbow instead of a product.
Inconsistent spacing
Margins and padding are eyeballed, not systematic. Elements feel randomly placed.
More than two font families
System font mixed with a Google Font mixed with something else. Visual noise everywhere.
Font scale feels arbitrary
Text sizes jump around with no clear scale. Body text, labels, and headings don't feel related.
Placeholder or generic copy
'Lorem ipsum', 'Click here', 'Welcome to our platform.' The words don't help users understand what to do.
Multiple competing CTAs
Three or more buttons of equal visual weight on one screen. The user doesn't know what to do first.
No breathing room
Elements are packed together with minimal whitespace. The interface feels cramped and difficult to scan.
Missing empty states
Tables and lists show nothing when there's no data. No explanation, no CTA, just a blank area.
No loading states
When data is fetching, the interface just freezes or shows a spinning circle with no context.
Generic error messages
'An error occurred.' No explanation of what went wrong or what to do next.
Broken on mobile
Text overflows, buttons are too small to tap, and the layout falls apart below 768px.
Everything has a border
Borders used as the primary way to group content. Cards inside cards inside borders. Visual noise.
Unlabeled icon-only buttons
Actions represented only by icons with no text label or tooltip. The user has to guess.
Low text contrast
Gray text on a white background, or white text on a light color. Fails WCAG AA contrast standards.
