how to turn a figma design into a website
0:05
Hey guys, welcome back. Today we'll be taking a quick look at how you can get started with turning a figma design
0:13
into a actual website. So let's get into it. Now, figma is a amazing tool that can enable you
0:21
to create amazing websites, because a lot of people don't realize figma is super customizable
0:28
So first off, you want to just log on, create a free figma account
0:33
I have my account created for free. This is just a basic little frame I have over here
0:38
You can create as many frames as you want, just like that. You can just create this frame over here
0:43
You can create, you know, multiple different frames, but let's say I remove everything else
0:48
I can cut everything else from over here, and I just have my singular frame
0:53
I can design it however I want, because this is such a customizable tool
0:58
I can really bring whatever I want to life. So for example, let's say within this frame
1:03
I want to build something or, you know, create something like this
1:08
I can input text over here. So let's say I want to fill this up with a different color
1:17
or, you know, whatever you want to do. That's totally up to you
1:20
But once you have, you know, whatever you're designing, once you have the basic idea in mind
1:26
you can actually convert it into a website. Now, a lot of people don't know this
1:31
but to do it is very simple. All you have to do is click on the top over here
1:37
where it has your resources. This is going to open up the plugins
1:41
and in your plugins, you just want to search for Framer. So you're going to search for Framer
1:48
and it's Figma to HTML with Framer. You're just going to click on that, click on Run
1:54
and then you will just select your layer to copy. So whatever layer you want, you can just select that to copy
2:01
So now that I have just copied this on from my Figma to Framer
2:07
I'm just going to head on over to framer.com. You can log in to your account if you have one already
2:13
If you don't have one, you can create your account for free. It's absolutely free to create an account
2:18
And once you create your account on Framer, you guys can see this is like my Framer section
2:25
I can actually just copy. So you're just going to go on to Figma, click on Run
2:29
select the layer that you want to copy. You can just click on over here and click on Copy
2:36
You can go on to Framer and you can just click on Paste, and it would, you know, paste everything as it is
2:43
So obviously this is a empty design on Figma. Let's add something so it's a bit easier
2:49
for you guys to see. Add this star over here, this. And then we have the color of the star like this
2:58
And then I can just go on like this, go into my plugins, copy to clipboard
3:04
and then I can go on to paste. And you guys can see just like that from Figma
3:09
my entire frame has been copied. Now I can set it to the size that I want
3:16
You guys can see this is a desktop frame. I can click on Add Breakpoint and add a tablet version
3:22
And obviously on the tablet version, I would want this to be slightly different
3:26
It's going to be aligned like this. Then on the phone version, I would align it differently
3:31
So I would copy it like so, or you can even move individual elements
3:36
if you wish to do that. But I would just copy it like this
3:40
have everything added like so. And then you can choose the overall aspect ratio you want
3:47
You guys can see in this way, you can really add whatever you want
3:51
into your Figma designs. Obviously, this is just a basic design. You want to do this with website designs
3:58
For example, you can go on to Figma over here. Let's go back into our libraries
4:04
And if we take a look over here, we have this empty design for a website
4:11
So we have our little website wide frame, whatever it might be
4:15
So what I would do is I would just copy this, click on plugins, run last plugin
4:21
copy to clipboard, go on to framework, click on plus, add a new page
4:27
And I would just click on paste. And then I could add my new page
4:32
Obviously, I have created too many pages over here. I'm just going to delete some of those
4:37
But in this way, you can really copy any page and click on paste over here
4:42
to copy your little Figma design. Obviously, I haven't added the plugin in this one
4:47
So that is why I might be having some issues with that. But you guys can see, you can pretty much do this
4:54
with any kind of design on Figma. For example, if I go back onto my dashboard over here
5:01
on Framer, and Framer is a great way for you to really actualize your website designs
5:08
If you only have a design, you can create actionable buttons. For example, you guys can see
5:13
this is like my desktop version. I'm going to zoom in a little into the desktop version
5:17
But if I go onto the desktop version over here, you guys can see this is what the frame
5:22
is going to look like. I can click on my layout. I can add rows, columns, grid within my desktop version
5:29
that are super customizable. I can also insert sections, navigation panels, pages
5:36
collection, field contents, media, forms, interactive elements into my Figma design directly from Framer
5:43
So if you want to add a button, all you have to do is click on Insert
5:47
You can click on Insert Navigation, and then you can just add whatever you want
5:53
So we are adding this navigation, and we can add this navigation wherever we want
5:58
So let's say I want it right below my top section. You can add that
6:01
If you want to add something like a button, you can add Utility
6:05
and then you have your multiple different buttons, patterns, so on and so forth
6:09
We have this little button over here. So you guys can see I've added this button
6:13
and I can just click on it like so, and I can add absolute button position like so
6:21
Obviously, you're going to customize this however you want, but it's super easy to do
6:26
and once you have completed the design however you want on desktop
6:30
on your tablet version, on your mobile version, you can just click on Publish on the top right over here
6:36
and once you do that, just like that, your project will be published with a specific little URL
6:42
and you can connect your own domain name to make it into your own very amazing
6:48
and usable and effective website that can be really made out of anything
6:53
because Figma is going to really give you the creative liberty, while Framework is going to give you
6:58
the actualization of your designs from Figma to your real and working website
7:04
