Build it once. Keep it perfect.

DesignLock monitors your design system and alerts you the moment something changes β€” before your client or visitors notice.

The Problem Every Developer Knows:

You spend weeks building a pixel-perfect site. You hand it off. A plugin updates. The client edits something. Three weeks later someone notices the brand color is wrong, the font changed, and a section looks broken.

DesignLock fixes this. It snapshots your design tokens β€” colors, fonts, spacing, global styles β€” and compares every scan against that baseline. The moment something drifts, you get an alert with exactly what changed and what caused it.

What DesignLock Tracks:

  • 🎨 Color Palette β€” Primary, secondary, and accent colors from theme.json
  • ✏️ Font Families β€” All registered font families in your theme
  • πŸ“ Typography Scale β€” Font sizes from xs to xxl
  • πŸ“ Spacing Tokens β€” Global spacing and gap presets
  • πŸ”Œ Plugin Versions β€” All active plugins β€” so you know what update caused the drift
  • 🎨 Global Styles β€” Block editor global styles and overrides

Key Features:

Design Baseline

Run a scan to lock your current design state as the β€œgolden baseline.” Every future scan compares against this.

Drift Detection

Automated daily scans detect color changes, font changes, spacing changes, and plugin updates. Get severity-rated alerts (Critical / High / Medium / Low).

Client Lock Mode

Lock specific design tokens so clients and editors cannot accidentally change them. Perfect for agencies handing off sites.

Design Health Score

A 0-100 score showing how closely your live site matches its baseline. At a glance β€” is your site healthy?

Scan History

Full timeline of every scan, with status (clean / drifted / error) and drift count per scan.

Built for:

  • Freelancers who hand off sites to clients
  • Agencies maintaining multiple client sites
  • Developers who run monthly care plans
  • Site owners who want peace of mind after plugin updates
