Compare redesign variants by preparing a clear brief, reviewing options against shared criteria, checking accessibility, and documenting the final choice. RēDesign can send one UI screenshot to several AI models at the same time and show the HTML redesigns they return in a gallery next to the original. ^[1]

What you need before you start

Comparing redesign variants is easier when the marketing team agrees on what a good result should achieve before looking at options.

A clear redesign brief. Note the page goal, audience, brand rules, content that must stay, and the changes that need review.
The current design reference. Gather screenshots, page mock-ups, or other visuals that show the starting point for each variant comparison.
A review checklist. Decide which areas matter, such as brand fit, readability, accessibility, and whether important messages remain clear.
The right assets. Keep logos, product images, icons, and other brand materials ready so reviewers can judge realistic versions.
A decision record. Choose where comments, scores, and final decisions will be stored so the team can explain why a variant was selected.

A shared process helps separate personal preferences from the needs of the campaign, audience, and business goal.

Step by step

These steps work the same way whichever redesign comparison tool you pick.

Define the goal. Write down what the redesign should improve and what parts of the current page must remain.
Collect the source material. Add the screenshots, copy, brand assets, and notes that each comparison option needs.
Create the comparison rules. Decide how the team will review each variant. Use the same questions for every option so choices are easier to explain.
Create the variants. Use the selected tool to produce different directions or collect the alternatives your team wants to compare.
Review side by side. Look at layout, content hierarchy, brand consistency, and accessibility needs instead of judging a single visual detail.
Check important details. Confirm that images, calls to action, text, and page structure still support the original goal.
Run accessibility checks where available. Contrast and readability checks can help identify issues before a design is approved.
Gather feedback. Ask reviewers to score or comment using the same criteria rather than collecting unrelated opinions.
Document the choice. Save the selected variant, the reasons it was chosen, and any changes that still need review.
Prepare the next step. Make sure the approved redesign can move into the workflow used by the marketing and design teams.

Tools that can do it

Facts are published here for only one tool, so the comparison is short. For any other option, check its own page for the features it lists, its export formats, its licence terms, and how it handles your design files.

### RēDesign

RēDesign is made by the team that publishes this site. It sends one UI screenshot to several AI models at the same time and shows the HTML redesigns they return in a gallery next to the original. ^[1] In one run you can ask each model for a different number of variants. ^[1] It comes with prompt presets such as faithful refresh, bold reimagine and minimalist, and you can also write your own prompts. ^[1] It shows two outputs with the model names hidden, and each pick you make updates a ranking of the models. ^[1] You can download a whole run as a zip, or download a DESIGN.md file for the redesign you picked so a coding agent can rebuild that look. ^[1] With one click it checks an output's text contrast against WCAG AA, using the rendered pixels. ^[1] It shows an estimated cost before you start a run and tracks what each run costs. ^[1]

Other redesign comparison options should be checked against the same questions: how variants are created, how results are reviewed, what files can be exported, and what checks are available before approval.

Common mistakes to avoid

Comparing without a shared goal. A redesign can look different without solving the problem the team wanted to address.
Using different review standards. If each reviewer judges a variant by different rules, the final choice becomes harder to explain.
Ignoring the original content. A visual change should still support the messages and actions the page needs.
Skipping accessibility review. Check readability and contrast before committing to a final direction.
Choosing from screenshots alone. Review how the redesign handles real content, assets, and important page elements.
Forgetting documentation. Keep notes about why a variant was selected so later updates have useful context.

Frequently asked questions

How should marketing teams compare redesign variants before approval?

Start with a clear goal, gather the current design materials, and agree on review criteria before looking at alternatives. Compare each variant against the same needs, including brand fit, content clarity, accessibility, and campaign goals. Record the reasons for the final choice so the decision remains clear later.

Can RēDesign show different redesign options from one screenshot?

RēDesign sends one UI screenshot to several AI models at the same time and shows the HTML redesigns they return in a gallery next to the original. ^[1]

Can a team control how many redesign variants are created?

RēDesign lets each model have a different number of variants within one run. ^[1]

How can accessibility be checked during redesign comparison?

RēDesign checks an output's text contrast against WCAG AA with one click, using the rendered pixels. ^[1] A team can use this type of check as part of a broader review that also considers content, layout, and audience needs before approval.

Does RēDesign show costs before comparing variants?

RēDesign shows an estimated cost before a run starts and tracks what each run costs. ^[1] RēDesign is free; the AI providers whose API keys are used are the costs that are paid. ^[1]
