From Figma to Webflow: How to turn static designs into a website

Transitioning a design from Figma to Webflow involves a series of structured steps to ensure a seamless build-out of a website. The process begins with creating a new project in Webflow, mirroring the organizational structure familiar to Figma users. Defining global styles or a style guide is crucial, as it sets the foundation for default elements like paragraphs, headings, and links, with an emphasis on using templates to maintain consistency and efficiency. Custom fonts and color swatches are incorporated to match the original Figma design, ensuring that all elements are globally applied for ease of future updates. Exporting assets from Figma requires careful preparation, including marking assets for export and using file compression tools like TinyPNG to optimize site performance. Strategic naming conventions in Figma, such as using forward slashes, can streamline the organization of exported files, enhancing workflow efficiency.
