In this story

The quick read

  • Check navigation, long content, keyboard use and mobile layout.
  • Inspect the code, dependencies and deployment assumptions.

Set the scope

Decide whether you need an interactive interface concept or a fuller application flow. Provide actual content, states and a visual direction. Product capabilities overlap and change, so verify the current options rather than relying on a permanent category label.

Test the generated result

Check navigation, long content, keyboard use and mobile layout. If data or actions are required, verify them explicitly. An interface can look complete while a button has no meaningful effect.

Review maintainability

Inspect the code, dependencies and deployment assumptions. Try making one realistic revision and note how much manual work it creates. Choose the product that gets your intended result into a form you can understand and maintain. The comparison should include design quality and working behaviour, with neither used as a substitute for the other. A focused brief makes the differences easier to see than a request for an impressive generic app.
