About this plugin
Build it once. Keep it perfect.
DesignLock monitors your design system and alerts you the moment something changes — 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 — colors, fonts, spacing, global styles — 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 — Primary, secondary, and accent colors from theme.json
- ✏️ Font Families — All registered font families in your theme
- 📏 Typography Scale — Font sizes from xs to xxl
- 📐 Spacing Tokens — Global spacing and gap presets
- 🔌 Plugin Versions — All active plugins — so you know what update caused the drift
- 🎨 Global Styles — Block editor global styles and overrides
Key Features:
