A lot of businesses come to us with a finished Figma design — sometimes made in-house, sometimes by a freelance designer — but no way to turn it into a working website. Here’s exactly how that process works.
Why Figma Designs Don’t Launch Themselves
Figma is a design tool, not a website builder. It shows exactly how a site should look, but someone still needs to build the actual functioning pages, connect forms, optimise for mobile, and make sure it loads fast — that’s development, not design.
The Process, Step by Step
- Review the Figma file for spacing, fonts, and interactive states
- Rebuild the design pixel-by-pixel using Elementor or a custom WordPress theme
- Make it fully responsive across mobile, tablet, and desktop
- Connect forms, animations, and any dynamic content (blog, shop, etc.)
- Test thoroughly before launch
What Makes a Figma File “Development-Ready”
The smoothest handoffs happen when the Figma file includes consistent spacing, named layers, a defined colour palette, and both desktop and mobile frames. Messy files can still be built, but they take longer and cost more.
Typical Turnaround
A clean, well-organised Figma design for a standard business site typically takes 5-10 days to convert into a fully functioning WordPress site, depending on the number of pages and custom interactions.
