Your Web Design Toolkit

Keeping your assets sorted out...images, videos, stylesheets...is a higher level of consciousness.

If you are a list-maker, you probably have developed a sense of "critical-path" thinking in terms of your web development.

If you are not a list-maker, here are some "blast from the past" examples of working checklists.

Both derive from my work at Serif & Sans, Inc., a computer typesetting firm in Boston in the 1970s and 1980s.

Our workflow, in a nutshell, received typed copy, layout, and rough mark-up from clients and design agencies. Our task was to do a good production mark-up (specifications for the keyboardist), keyboard it, proofread it, and correct it before sending it out as our product to the client.

It was always helpful to have a checklist, although we had all internalized the workflow requirements.
