Product design audit
A practical map of UX and UI drift, reusable patterns, missing states, component opportunities, design tokens, and the highest-impact system work.
Pricing
Start with your real product,
not a blank design file
For founders who know their product and customers, but need a flexible design system and a product design partner who can keep pace with every release.
Choose what your product needs next
Design system sprint
We work in your product code to create shared styles, components, states, selected flows, and simple rules for your AI tools.
Product design retainer
Reserved product design support each month. We design new feature flows, build reusable components, and keep your design system current as the product grows.
What changes the quote?
How large the product surface is, how many components and patterns already exist, whether we can see the GitHub repo through Hubql, and whether you need an audit, a sprint, or a monthly retainer.
What if I only want advice?
The audit is the first paid step. You can use the system plan yourself, ask us to create it in a sprint, or keep us alongside new feature work.
Design system sprint
Shared styles and components,
built in your code
After the audit, we agree on one part of your product to improve first. We clean up the code, build reusable parts, and show your team and AI tools how to use them.
What we do
We work in your code
- Turn repeated colors, type, spacing, corners, shadows, and motion into shared styles.
- Fix, combine, or build the main components we agreed on.
- Make those components work on mobile and cover loading, empty, and error states.
- Update selected screens or one main flow to use the shared parts.
- Write rules that tell Lovable, Cursor, Codex, or Claude Code where to find and reuse them.
What you receive
Working parts you can reuse
- Working code added to your repo, ready for your team to review and ship.
- Shared styles for color, type, spacing, corners, shadows, and motion.
- The components we agreed to fix or build, with mobile, loading, empty, and error states.
- Selected screens or one main flow updated to use those shared parts.
- A short guide that explains what to use, when to use it, and where it lives.
- Rules for your AI tools, a walkthrough of the work, and a clear list of what to improve next.
Product design retainer
A product design partner for
what you are shipping next
The retainer gives you reserved product design support every month. You bring the product priorities and customer context. We design the experience, build the reusable parts, and keep your design system current as new features ship.
What we do
We design what you are shipping next
- Agree on the most important feature work for the month.
- Turn your requirements and customer context into clear user flows, screens, and states.
- Create or improve the reusable components needed for the work.
- Add the work to your product code and make sure it works across screen sizes.
- Keep the design system and rules for Lovable, Cursor, Codex, or Claude Code up to date.
What you receive
Useful design work every month
- Reserved product design capacity for the monthly priorities we agree with you.
- Clear flows and screens for new features or improvements to existing ones.
- Working front-end code and reusable components added to your repo.
- Responsive layouts and the loading, empty, error, and success states needed for the agreed work.
- An updated design system, updated AI rules, and a walkthrough of what changed.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Hubql Design?
We are the product design and design system partner for founders who already know their product and customers. We turn the UI you have into a reusable system, then design and extend it as new features ship.
I built this in Lovable, Cursor, Codex, or Claude Code. Is that a fit?
Yes, especially if the product works and you are shipping every week. We give those tools a stronger visual foundation, reusable components, and concrete patterns so speed no longer creates a different-looking product each session.
Is this a redesign?
Not automatically. We preserve what is distinct and working, resolve the inconsistencies, and build a system around it. The goal is not a new coat of paint; it is a product you can keep extending without losing its style.
Will you rebuild my app?
No. We work from what you already shipped, improve the parts that need it, and create or extend the components behind them. You keep the product and the shipping momentum.
Why install the Hubql GitHub app?
Screenshots miss how the product is actually assembled. Repo access shows us which patterns are reusable, where components have forked, and how to make the design system practical for your build workflow.
What is design debt?
The UX and UI inconsistency that piles up when you keep shipping, especially with AI, and never decide which patterns are canonical. It is why a “simple” feature starts taking longer.
What do you do in a design system sprint, and what do I receive?
After the audit, we agree on one part of your product to improve first. We turn repeated design decisions into shared styles, fix or build the main components, cover mobile and important states, and update selected screens or one main flow. We also write rules that help your AI tools reuse the system. You receive working code in your repo, reusable styles and components, updated screens, a short guide, AI rules, a walkthrough, and a clear list of what to improve next. A sprint does not include rebuilding the whole app, creating a new brand, backend or security work, full test cleanup, or owning your roadmap.
What happens after the audit?
You can implement the audit yourself, bring us in for a focused design system sprint, or choose a product design retainer for new features and components each month.
What do you do on the product design retainer, and what do I receive?
Each month, we agree on the most important feature work with you. We turn your requirements and customer context into clear flows, screens, and states. We create or improve the reusable components, add the work to your product code, and keep the design system and AI rules up to date. You receive reserved product design time, working front-end code, responsive layouts, the states needed for the agreed work, and a walkthrough of what changed. We agree on the exact monthly priorities and scope before we start.
