How the Polsh AI Design Score Works

Learn how Polsh AI scores your website out of 100 based on Color, Typography, Hierarchy, and Distinctiveness.

The Polsh AI Design Score is a comprehensive analysis of your website's visual design quality. It evaluates your site out of 100 points across four key dimensions.

Color (25 points): Measures contrast ratios, palette harmony, and whether your color scheme feels distinctive or falls into the generic "AI purple gradient" trap.

Typography (25 points): Evaluates font choices, size hierarchy, line heights, and letter spacing. Many AI-generated sites use default system fonts or overly uniform sizing, which hurts readability and personality.

Hierarchy (25 points): Assesses visual weight distribution, spacing consistency, and how well the layout guides the user's eye through the content.

Distinctiveness (25 points): The most important metric. This measures how unique your site looks compared to typical AI-generated templates. A high distinctiveness score means your site looks custom-designed rather than machine-generated.

After scoring, the AI copilot suggests specific "quick wins" you can apply immediately to boost your score, such as adjusting font pairings or improving contrast ratios.
