How does the customer check the layout?
Does it look at the readability of the code?

Answer 1

I’ll clarify the xmoonlight answer , a picky customer will look at:
1. readability of the code, this implies the presence of layout skills on the receiving side,
2. layout validity or a clear justification for why it was done that way,
3. cross-browser compatibility,
4. layout logic, repetitive blocks (modular blocks) should easily change place when moving them from one markup to another,
5. inheritance in style properties, when 100 styles are written for 100 blocks, but in fact there are only 10 unique blocks - this indicates a low value,
6. pixel-perfect, in this case there are few questions about fonts, mainly the location of blocks is considered,
7. the pinnacle of the coder's skill - commenting on markup blocks and properties on the pre-release (where the beginning and where the end is),
8. the final size and amount of data to be loaded (first load, load plus cache), the presence of sprites will be considered.
Above it was - only a part of the "Wishlist", burnt by the customer. A customer who just needs a result without a particularly clear technical specification (there is only a layout) will simply run the layout through browsers and calm down at this point.

Answer 2

1. Overlay screenshots of the layout and layout
2. Correct work of layout in all browsers
3. Readable code (in 50% of cases - check)

Answer 3

There are 2 approaches.
1. The customer is not a developer
In this case, there are 2 options: pixel perfect (everything should visually match when a screenshot of the site is applied to the layout) and normal (just checking that everything looks normal and it didn’t work, well, visually very similar to the layout)
2. Customer developer
K point 1 will add a code check. At least for the convenience of screwing to the CMS. So that there is a convenient ladder, readable and understandable class names, good modularity of the code.

Answer 4

Depends on the qualifications of the customer. If he is not able to understand something in the code itself, then he will simply look in all browsers and through the responsinator, well, on his phone. Can check the download time through webpagetest.
