redesign-existing-projects
Audits an existing site and upgrades it without breaking functionality.
What it is
A scan, diagnose, and fix workflow for existing projects. It audits typography, color, layout, states, content, icons, and code quality, then applies targeted upgrades inside the current stack.
Upgrades existing websites and apps to premium quality. Audits current design, identifies generic AI patterns, and applies high-end design standards without breaking functionality. Works with any CSS framework or vanilla
Why it matters for design
