I designed a website and the programmer wants the psd's.
Do I just send him the files?
Is he expecting and notes or anything?

clean up the files, make sure all layers or folders have names, send text document with notes (rollovers, interactivity, external links, etc...) and after that give him a call to go over what you wrote and what could not be explained on that text doc.

Layer comps will help the developer a lot, too.
- IF they use those. some don't even know what they are.doesnotexist
- If a dev knows not what they are, it's best not to know said dev...NONEIS
- devs ♥ Layer compsAa77
- we don't use them with our dev, definitely surprises me.doesnotexist

stuff like making sure all effects are in PS and not things like smart objects made in illy having effects from illy... all rgb... label shit. put things in layers.

Layer comps, and a PHONE CALL - no substitution for walking them through the design...
- agree! its too easy to email it and think it will be ok, when a quick chat really makes things easier.Hombre_Lobo

Don't forget to hand over font files with it if you've used anything the 'web designer' may not have.

rasterize those smart objects
- Doesn't this defeat the point of them being smart?animatedgif
- yes, but you're handing them off to production not continuing to work on them.doesnotexist
- production meaning development/program... ah, interesting...k_temp
- Not helpful if they need to extract something in a smart object stack.
Just leave emanimatedgif - to each his own, our devs like them rasterized.doesnotexist

yes... naming of layers is good, I've received some "copy of layer x" files in the past..
