Whether you’re a freelance web designer or part of a team at an agency,
handing off Photoshop files to a client, developer, development team or
even another designer is part of the process of building websites. Whereas the development process is generally more structured, by
contrast, the design process is quite often spontaneous and full of
experimentation.
This can lead to a host of unused and unnamed layers that don’t end up as part of the final approved design. For developers, sifting through a quagmire of unnamed layers (Layer 1, Layer 1 copy, etc.) can be confusing and time consuming.
Designers can help their counterparts or clients before the design
hand-off by taking 10 to 15 minutes to prepare files in a consistent and
organized manner that can potentially save developers hours of
production time. As an added bonus, an organized Photoshop file will
save designers time by minimizing development questions after the file
has been handed off for coding.
