Team handoff: one source for designer and builder

Naming conventions, version control and a handoff checklist without endless chat threads.

Shared naming vocabularyClear ownershipHandoff checklist
01

Define the project contract

Document supported breakpoints, font families, naming rules and interaction markers. A short README next to the design saves more time than verbal agreements.

02

The designer owns decisions

The plugin should not guess the mobile composition. The designer prepares states, order and visibility. The builder checks technical compatibility and connects external resources in Tilda.

03

Versioning without chaos

Add a version number to the parent container but keep semantic names inside. Before a major change, duplicate the Tilda page or block rather than only the Figma Frame.

04

Ready for handoff

Before handoff, run diagnostics, include the font list and flag elements requiring manual media. The recipient should reproduce the import from the guide without extra passwords or tokens.

  • All files and fonts are accessible
