If you’re an Agency or Client sending work to Spark Logix Studios, and you are providing all design assets for development, here’s a little group of checklists to help you stay organized.
Keep in mind, if you are having Spark Logix Studios handle the design, then this checklist does not apply. This is only for our Clients and Agency Partners who are handling the design while our team builds the code.
When provided, these lists will enable us to quickly take into account your exact requests, and ensure the development process happens as smoothly as possible.
Understanding What We Need
- Provide a PDF of all requested page designs. This may also include a PSD file (with accompanying JPG or PDF files for compatibility purposes).
- Provide a Checklist of all Text/Font Uses (as described below).
- Provide all Image Assets at 144DPI (Sized as intended) – Sizing instruction typically occurs during the initial design brief. We may also provide standard sizes that work well for full width and responsive needs, but generally speaking full width images should be 1900 x 1000 pixels, while all other images should be a minimum of 900 pixels in width. (We may also create the site using dummy images for later image placement by the Agency or Client).
- Provide Content, written out for each page in a document format we can copy and paste from (or we can use dummy text and the Agency or Client enters the content).

Check if a Web Page Has Been Indexed (Tool)
Getting a web page on your site indexed is important. This happens automatically if you’re building your website correctly. It’s also important to ensure your directory listings and other web properties (like business directories) are also being indexed (to take advantage of as many ranking signals you can).
