Do you have a web project in mind? Before diving into the code, you have to think about the design first. And for that, Figma has become the essential design tool for creating a website mockup. But then, How much should you set aside to create a Figma model?

Within our web design agency, we have worked on dozens of web projects, and we know how a well-thought-out model can make all the difference. Whether you want to design a showcase site, an e-commerce site or a mobile application, a Figma prototype helps you structure your content, test your concept, and facilitate development work.

Figma, a valuable ally for all your web projects

Today, designing a website model without tools like Figma is a bit like building a house without a plan. You can try, but you may lose time, money, and a lot of peace of mind.

We already showed you Why is Figma still the No. 1 web design tool in 2025 : Thanks to its collaborative functionalities, its interactive prototypes, and its ease of use, Figma is an obvious choice for anyone who wants to create an effective, clear design, and easy to integrate into development.

Whether you are an entrepreneur, project manager, designer or developer, taking the time to create a well-structured Figma model is taking a giant step towards a more professional website, faster to deliver, and above all, better designed for your users.

So, ready to move from draft to interactive, responsive and tailor-made design? Start by clearly defining your needs... and let Figma do the rest.

Why use Figma to create a website mockup?

Using Figma to create a website layout means choosing a modern, powerful, and above all collaborative design tool. Unlike older software like Sketch or Adobe XD, Figma works entirely online, making it much easier for designers, web developers, and customers to collaborate. Everyone can work on the same Figma file, at the same time, and make comments or adjustments without ever stepping on each other's toes.

👉 We've concocted a Figma vs Adobe XD comparison to find out which is the best web design tool.

This platform offers very advanced features, such as:

  • Interactive prototyping to test user journeys in real conditions
  • Creating UI elements reusable and interactive components
  • The ability to integrate images, text content, buttons, and other customizable design elements
  • Adaptive views for mobile, tablet, and desktop
  • Seamless integration with developer tools and easy export for CSS code or visual assets

In addition to being free in its basic version (ideal for testing the tool), Figma is suitable both for small businesses who want to create a showcase site, and for product teams who design smartphone applications or complex e-commerce sites. Using Figma not only allows you to create a clear and professional model, but also saves time during the development phase.

In summary, Figma is not just design software: it is a central tool for any well-structured web project. It facilitates communication between the various actors in the project, makes it possible to quickly design a coherent user experience, and offers a quality of rendering that avoids endless back and forth.

The criteria that influence the price of a website layout

Estimating the price of a website layout is not always easy. Each project is unique, each need is different, and each design tells a story. At Studio Elias, we like transparency so here is what makes the price of a model vary, in all clarity:

1. The number of pages to be designed

This is the first thing to take into account. A 1-page website mockup (landing page type) will obviously not require the same work as a complete showcase site or a 15-screen web application. The more pages to design, the longer it takes to create, especially if each page has a unique structure. And if some pages are available, they must still be adapted in the layout.

2. The complexity of design

A clean graphic design with few interactions will cost less than an interactive prototype with hover effects, transitions, animations, or dynamic components. Creating a design on Figma is not just about setting blocks: it's about thinking about the user experience, anticipating uses, and offering a fluid journey. The more interactive the model is, the more the working time increases.

3. The visual identity

The price will be very different depending on whether you rely on an existing graphic chart or whether you start from scratch. If the project requires the complete creation of a visual identity (logo, colors, colors, fonts, UI styles...), the designer must first lay the foundations of the brand before even creating the first graphic models. Real branding work, often underestimated, but essential.

4. Responsive variants

Today, it is unthinkable to deliver a website design without its mobile and tablet versions. But be careful: reducing columns is not enough! Mobile use involves specific adjustments, different UX choices, sometimes even the removal of content. Each version requires rigorous adaptation work in Figma, which can impact the final budget.

5. The type of site to be designed

A showcase site, an e-commerce site, or a mobile application are not designed in the same way. The level of functionality, prototyping needs, and content structure are very different. An e-commerce site, for example, will require product pages, filters, complex interactions, or even logic specific to the user (basket, order tunnel, etc.). Each case requires a custom design in the Figma tool.

How much does a Figma model cost?

This is THE big question of any project: how much should you plan to create a website model on Figma? At Studio Elias, we share with you here an indicative price list, based both on our experiences and on market rates. Keep in mind: each project is unique, each request has its own specificities. But it gives you a good idea of what to include in your design budget.

Price ranges according to the type of project:

  • 1-page website mockup: starting from 1000€ → Ideal for a landing page or a simple showcase site
  • 5-page website mockup: between €2000 and €5000 → Often includes a home page, product or service pages, a company page, a contact page, etc.
  • Complete e-commerce site mockup: between 4000€ and 8000€ → With product pages, shopping cart, order tunnel, categories, filters, etc. → Further work on UX, functionalities and content
  • Mobile and tablet version: at an additional cost, generally €2,000 to €3,000 → To ensure a smooth user experience on all devices
  • Figma interactive prototype: on estimate → Depending on the level of interactivity, the number of dynamic elements, and the prototyping time

What can cause the price to vary:

  • The provider's level of expertise
  • The level of personalization
  • The number of pages
  • The integration of reusable components (Agile design and UI Kit)
  • The addition of comments to facilitate the work of the development team
  • The presence of a UI/UX guide to ensure consistent integration into the future website

👉 In summary : a mockup can be a simple design file to validate an idea, or an ultra-complete professional document ready to be developed. In any case, using Figma allows you to develop a site appropriate to your visitors, designed to last, and easy to evolve.

And if you are still hesitating, we are here to offer a precise quote, according to your project and your needs.

Why invest in a good model?

Creating a Figma model is not an expense: It's an investment. A good design makes it possible to avoid going back and forth during the development phase, to better understand the customer's needs, and to offer a website adapted to the user.

It facilitates the integration of the site, the work of web developers, and guarantees better final quality. Not to mention the user experience, which remains at the heart of all web creation.

At Studio Elias, we create tailor-made models for each project, with a team of designers and developers who work hand in hand. Each design is adapted to the needs of the client, the product, and the purpose of the site.

In summary: investing in a Figma model is investing in clarity

A well-thought-out Figma model is the starting point for a successful website. It makes it possible to visualize the final result, to test the user paths, to work in a team, and above all, to avoid costly back and forth during the development phase.

Whether you are launching a showcase site, a mobile application or an e-commerce, creating a website model is a strategic step. This allows you to lay the foundations for a functional design, centered on your users, with consistent UI elements and a smooth experience.

Before you get started, ask yourself the right questions:

  • What type of site do I want to create?
  • How many pages will you need?
  • Do I already have a graphic chart or do I have to create everything?
  • Will my site have to adapt to different formats (mobile, tablet, desktop)?
  • Do I need an interactive prototype to test the user journey?

Answering these questions will help you define a realistic budget and choose the right provider, tool, or team to bring your website to life.
