Figma is primarily a design and prototyping tool, though it's beginning to expand into no-code website creation, with early features currently in alpha testing.

So while you can’t directly publish a website from Figma, you can design every aspect of a website’s user interface using it.

Here’s what’s possible – and what’s not:

• Designing a Website in Figma:
  Yes, you can create complete web page mockups and prototypes in Figma. Design layouts, style components, and add interactivity (like clickable navigation or menu animations). Many professionals use Figma to design high-fidelity website interfaces before handing them off for development.

• From Figma to Code:
  Figma does not export production-ready HTML/CSS. After designing, the typical workflow is to:

  • Hand off to a developer who codes the site.

  • Use the Inspect panel to extract specs (fonts, colors, spacing).

  • Optionally, try code export plugins—but these often need manual cleanup.

• No-Code Website Builders:
  If you don’t code, you can use tools like Webflow or Wix. Design in Figma, then recreate your layout using a visual builder that auto-generates code. Framer is another popular choice for turning Figma designs into interactive websites without coding. Try Figma to Framer HTML plugin.

Think of Figma as the blueprint phase—you shape how the site should look and feel. But to make it live and functional, you need coding skills or a no-code builder.

If you're serious about mastering this workflow, the Advanced Figma Course will teach you how to use Figma's features like a pro and prep your designs for handoff or development.
