For example, instead of naming stages of your product with \u201cLatest\u201d or \u201cNewest,\u201d it is best to keep it simple and use, for example, \u201cv1,\u201d \u201cv2,\u201d \u201cv3,\u201d and so on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will make it easy to see the various versions of your design from the original to the latest and will help the developer navigate your design process. You\u2019ll also want to familiarize yourself with developer handoff terms. A good resource for this is the <a href=\"https:\/\/getbem.com\/introduction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">BEM notation guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more about terminology in our <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/content-design-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Content Design System Guide<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-build-interactive-prototypes\">Build interactive prototypes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the most beautiful prototype fails to communicate what developers need to build if it&#8217;s static. That&#8217;s why adding interactivity to your design is so crucial. You can do that by using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/advanced-prototyping-features\/\">advanced prototyping features like States, Variables, and Expressions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s also another way. You can bring coded components to design and build prototypes that are fully interactive by default.

This will give the developer context of what each asset is. You should also explain each design and why you created it in the way you did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/design-handoff-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">design handoff tool<\/a> like UXPin will make this annotation process a lot easier. It will allow you to collaborate on your designs in real time and create contextual documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add detailed descriptions of each element in your design which will help clarify the function each of them offers. There is also an option to include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/accessibility-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accessibility guidance<\/a> for greater clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-templates-or-checklists-for-the-future\">Create templates or checklists for the future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the most part, every design handoff process will involve similar structure. So, to make it easier for future design handoffs, it is best to create a template or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/design-handoff-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">checklist that will help you make the process more efficient<\/a>. This will ensure uniformity and a seamless transition from designer to developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will also save you a lot of time because you will already have a good process to follow and won\u2019t have to reinvent the wheel every time you have a design handoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/VgbY_VDuFOQyaWt3e6cjm2eA-Nawh8gvcWqNSo5y2Btce51J0SAx4n5jRMsOxaVNrwR8VNYodHOtjftmxs2hH7uikcSmd82CAxXUbR0GunqSnn_Y-dqGVdYiSmSXn7sNrmR3SDnox3-mK1_9DvmjDQk\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare specification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifications help developers understand CSS properties, be it heights, widths, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/hmtl-line-spacing-good-bad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spacing<\/a>, font sizes, etc. Design tools usually automate this process. UXPin, for example, have a built-in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/docs\/sharing\/spec-mode\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spec Mode<\/a>\u00a0that helps developers select UI elements to view specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/J6mFbnY7FQnOFt3nuIW2XuOKrTx9zzW-AhGFJWr7DoAq-GDrKi8Zye_AA85KdcQ2S-wJOavsOGovC4CAZJNdx25ery0A4PO2GzPhdCur_sIopZ0R04uCEIpu4yO-ETojGx-HPVY0c5DqUynfdfadOcB3rQm433IsGXhB_wPyz55H61HwOeEhZOXA1lBblQ\" alt=\"UXPin Spec mode will help you with developer handoff\" width=\"650\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>UXPin also automatically generates starter CSS that developers can copy.

That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to bring the developer into the design process at an early stage. This way, you\u2019ll have more time to introduce and explain all of your designs and ideas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be beneficial not only for the development team but also for you as a designer. Namely, you\u2019ll be able to take advantage of their technical expertise by asking them for feedback during the design process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By keeping an open dialogue, you can discuss with them which design components are working well and what needs improving. You\u2019ll also be able to understand how you can implement positive changes to your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To summarize, good communication will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Give the developers context and background knowledge of the design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a faster and more efficient design handoff process<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the developer on the same page, which will ultimately result in faster and more accurate development of the design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid misunderstandings related to the design handoff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, involving developers early in the design handoff is one of the best things you can do in the product development process. We discuss it in more detail in the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-involve-developers-early-in-design\">Involve developers early in design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oftentimes, design teams make the mistake of separating their work from the developer\u2019s work. As a result, there can be a lot of confusion during and after the design handoff. This can lead to faulty development and more time that you\u2019ll have to spend clearing up any misunderstandings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/pgIB9gOvHDLgRCZkMX9OXO7cPQH79XDYZryU2Dp3StA_Jddp6bxPAjepJTtKDpx3WnlnBPmVbsLRU2eC-CmHbC7QG8ZfzPg-BNTJ1Ky8VJpbuRSaKAEiGvXw4qv-gJzTM4YrW4Apyidnr181j8rYJDk\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, in order to create a streamlined process, versus a fragmented one, you\u2019ll want to include the development team early on. To accomplish this, there are three main steps you should follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Seek insight from developers<\/strong>\u2014During the design process, it is always important to at least have some idea of how your design will translate to an actual website or app. So, in order to make design handoff smoother, it is important to seek insight and advice from developers early on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Include developers in talks with stakeholders<\/strong>\u2014Ultimately, the stakeholder is not looking for a well-designed prototype but for a good product. So, by including developers in conference calls or talks early in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/design-process-ux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">design process<\/a>, you can ensure that both the design team and development team have a sense of clarity. Hence, they\u2019ll have a good understanding of what the end result should look like.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sharing design ideas with developers<\/strong>\u2014It is a lot easier to correct any potential problems with a design while they are still in the \u201cideation phase\u201d instead of the prototyping phase. So, before carrying out any major design ideas, it is best to check in with developers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/design-review-template-balancing-desirability-viability-feasibility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">see if what you want to build is feasible<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-improve-design-handoff-with-uxpin\">Improve Design Handoff with UXPin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, communication is key. Instead of seeing the design and development teams as separate, it is best to see them as one. So, involving the development team in the design process and making sure everyone is on the same page will help create a seamless design handoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, using a tool like UXPin will allow you to create prototypes with components that come from your design system. This will make it very clear to developers how each component is meant to function and create a seamless transition process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring components from Git repo, Storybook, npm to UXPin and streamline your design handoff process. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/merge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><center><a class=\"btn btn-flat btn-large btn-content-width\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/merge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discover Merge<\/a><\/center><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are close or are finishing up your design after a series of iterations, then you are probably anticipating the next step\u2014the design handoff.
