Figma Config 2025: What’s new, what’s next, and what you should be doing

At Config 2025, Figma announced significant changes that transform the platform from a traditional UX design tool into a comprehensive design and development solution. The introduction of Figma Make and Figma Sites positions Figma in the no-code space, allowing users to prototype and publish websites directly from the platform, thus blurring the lines between design and development. This shift enables designers to handle branding, web development, and user testing all within Figma, enhancing their value and impact in a business context. New features such as an upgraded Grid Autolayout and Figma Buzz facilitate streamlined workflows and collaboration, while Figma Draw brings creative flexibility akin to tools like Adobe Illustrator and Procreate. This evolution marks Figma's intention to become a central creative hub, suggesting that future UX designers will need to be multi-skilled, able to handle everything from product design to coding in a single platform, thereby promoting faster and more integrated creative processes.
