What Is Figma?
Figma is a browser-based tool for interface design and prototyping. There's a desktop app too, but its real difference is that files live in the cloud and several people can work in the same file at once. While one designer draws a screen, another can fix the copy and you can leave a comment on the side.
With components and variants, a button, card or menu is designed once and stays the same everywhere on the site. Auto Layout lets elements arrange themselves as their content changes, and variables manage values such as colors, type sizes and spacing in one place. The design becomes less a picture and more a system that lives by its rules.
Prototyping links screens together, so a design can be clicked through like a real site. Dev Mode hands measurements, color codes, type settings and exportable images to the development team, ready to use. That end-to-end flow is what has made Figma the standard tool for so many product and design teams.
Where We Use Figma
We make every decision in Figma before writing any code. In a web project, these are the jobs we open Figma for most:
Wireframes and Page Structure
First we build the skeleton of the pages: which section goes where, which information comes first and how a visitor reaches the quote form. We agree on structure before color and imagery.
Desktop and Mobile Design
We design every screen separately for wide screens and phones. The phone design isn't a shrunken desktop; touch targets and reading order are thought through on their own.
Design System
We gather your brand's colors, type scale, buttons and cards in a component library, so any new page added to the site is built from the same parts, consistently.
Prototype and Approval
We turn key journeys into clickable prototypes and share them with you. You leave comments right on the screens, so feedback doesn't get lost in email threads.
Why Figma?
One File, at the Same Time
Designer, developer and you look at the same file. Nobody works on an old version; every change reaches everyone instantly.
Consistency Built into the System
With components and variables, when we change a color or a button it updates on every screen that uses it. Even as a site grows, the look holds together.
Design to Code Without Losses
Dev Mode passes on measurements and values exactly. There's no “roughly” between the design you approved and the site that goes live.
How We Work on Your Project
After the discovery meeting we map out the page structure in wireframes and move on to visual design with your approval. We design the home page and one key inner page first to settle the direction together, then complete the remaining screens with the same system.
Once the design is approved, the Figma file becomes the single source of truth for development: we take measurements and colors straight from it while coding. Pages added to the site later are designed with the same components, so the look doesn't drift as the site grows.
