  • JPEG design files for mobile & desktop layouts
  • Style guide for fonts, colors, etc.
  • Optimized image assets

💡Ideas to test yourself

  1. Write your styles using a pre-processor, such as Sass, Less or Stylus
  2. Train your eye for detail by getting your solution as close to the design as you can
  3. Try estimating the time it will take for you to build the project. Then see if the time taken matches up to your estimate. Project estimations are a skill that is often overlooked but is essential for professional developers
