I guess you supply your developers fully documented fluid-resizable, responsive, dynamic mockups with all possible states? That’s one lucky developer.
As a designer and developer, most (extremely talented!) designers that I end up working with still send me their designs as static PSD’s, and they also don’t understand enough HTML to know which design-choices are costly and which are not, and which don’t scale well with the screen / text / content, etc.
If the designer and developer don’t work together at the UI/UX stage then it’s completely understandable for the coded-up site to not be a pixel perfect carbon copy.
- pwython 8y agoI generally supply mockups for different breakpoints from Sketch (via Zeplin). Moving away from making web UI in Photoshop was a game changer for myself, and the other developers. Dimensions/spacing is easy to read, and nearly all styles are translated to CSS. Highly recommend telling your designer friends to try software like Sketch or InVision Studio.
