Create a snapping Figma mockup

Because yes, having a beautiful site is good, but having a beautiful, functional and optimized site is even better. Figma allows you to structure your design in a clear and impactful way. Goodbye fuzzy mockups and flawed user experiences, let's get down to business.

Design an impacting UI

Good design is like a good pizza: a good base, consistency, and well-chosen ingredients. Here are the three elements that will make all the difference in your model:

• Typography: No more than two fonts (otherwise it's a circus). One for the titles, one for the text. The important thing? Readability, contrast and hierarchy.
• A well-thought-out palette is essential for a coherent design. For a harmonious result, apply this simple rule: 60% for the dominant shade, 30% for the secondary and 10% for the accent. This dosage ensures visual balance and a clear hierarchy without overloading the eye.
• The visual hierarchy: Headlines, very distinct subtitles, important elements highlighted. A user should understand the information at a glance.

‍

A poorly designed site is like a Christmas sweater in the middle of summer. We notice it, but not for the right reasons.

‍

User experience: think like a user, not like a designer

The classic designer trap: making a site beautiful... but unusable. If the user has problems, he leaves.

To avoid this, a few basic principles:

• Seamless navigation: A user needs to understand where to click instinctively.
• Visible interactive elements: A button should look like a button, not an element of decor.
• Optimized load time: A design that is too heavy slows everything down. Lightening the images is the B.A.-BA.

In short: beautiful AND practical, it's the winning combination.

‍

Responsive Design: from XXL screens to smartphones

Your model should work everywhere. Because a poorly adapted site is the “site cut in two” effect on mobile... and nobody wants that.

A few rules to avoid carnage:

• Use flexible grids: Your elements should adapt without breaking everything when the screen shrinks.
• Test different formats: Desktop, tablet, mobile... Figma makes it possible to anticipate the display on each screen.
• Keep buttons accessible: A button that is too small on a mobile phone is a guaranteed frustration.

A good site adapts to its user, not the other way around. With these bases, your design will not only be effective, but above all pleasant to navigate.

From Figma to Webflow: the winning duo

Figma is great for creating an impeccable model. But once your design is ready, how do you turn it into a functional website without breaking everything? That's where Webflow comes in. With these two tools, you can go from concept to online site without losing quality or efficiency.

Importing your design into Webflow

Creating a beautiful model is one thing. Converting it into a well-coded site is another. Fortunately, Webflow makes the transition easy, provided you are well organized. Here are the essential steps:

1. Preparing your file: First of all, make sure everything is well structured. Clear layer names, well-defined styles... A clean file = a smooth integration.
2. Exporting assets: Logos, icons, images... Webflow supports several formats (SVG, PNG, JPEG), so optimize your files well for a perfect display.
3. Create your Webflow structure by following the model: Use CSS grids and flexbox to faithfully replicate your design.
4. Add styles and interactions: Webflow allows you to apply the same colors, fonts and effects as those defined in Figma, without having to redo everything by hand.
5. Test and adjust: Before publishing, check the display on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Good responsive design cannot be improvised.

If everything is done well, your final site will be faithful to your model, while remaining fluid and efficient.

Optimizing your Webflow thanks to Figma

A good Figma file is a Webflow without headaches. To avoid unpleasant surprises during integration, here are some best practices:

• Maintain a logical hierarchy: Use frames to structure your sections (header, footer, content) and keep the names clear.
• Uses reusable components: If you have the same button everywhere, create a component in Figma so that Webflow can easily reproduce it with its own “Symbols”.
• Think of the animations: If your model includes interactions, write them down clearly so that the integration is smooth. Webflow allows you to recreate almost all the animations in Figma.
• Adopts a modular design: Fewer unnecessary variations = a lighter and easier to manage site.
