Workflow

Ship a Design Handoff That Developers Trust

Verify contrast, lock down a palette, and export clean specs so nothing is lost between design and code.

Estimated time: ~45 min Tools involved: 4 Designers handing off to developers
  1. 1

    Audit every text/background pair against WCAG AA so accessibility issues never reach code review.

    Check small text at 4.5:1 and large text at 3:1 — flag anything below before handoff.

  2. 2

    Lock the palette into a single source of truth with swatches developers can copy.

    Include the hex values, not screenshots. Developers will ask for them anyway.

  3. 3

    Compress any full-bleed images in the spec so the handoff package stays light.

    Export assets as WebP/AVIF for the web and keep original PNGs for print.

  4. 4

    Add a short README-style note inside the markdown spec that names the tokens.

    Name color tokens semantically (--surface-1) rather than by value (#0B0F1A).
