DesignLock

What it is

DesignLock is a free WordPress plugin that protects a site's design system after launch. It captures a baseline of your design tokens, colours, fonts, spacing, global styles and plugin versions, then scans against that baseline to catch any drift. When something changes, it tells you what changed, when, and how serious it is, so the site stays true to the original build.

What it does

• Design baseline snapshots

  Captures a fingerprint of your colours, fonts, spacing tokens, global styles and plugin versions as the reference point.

• Drift detection

  Scans against the baseline and flags every change by severity, with details on what moved and where.

• Design health score

  A single score from 0 to 100 that tracks design system stability across recent scans at a glance.

• Client lock mode

  Freezes specific design tokens so clients can still publish and edit content without breaking the locked design.

• Scan history and logs

  Keeps timestamped records of every change for auditing, troubleshooting and clear client reporting.
