Do we need a complete Figma design before development?

Not always. A small site may move from approved directions into development quickly. Complex products and commerce journeys benefit from resolving components, states and content structure in Figma first.

What makes a Figma handover useful to developers?

Named components, defined states, responsive behaviour, real content, reusable styles and clear annotations matter more than a perfectly arranged canvas.

Can clients comment without editing designs?

Yes. Reviewers can be given access to inspect prototypes and leave comments, which keeps feedback attached to the relevant screen or component.

Where Figma fits

Figma is the working space where a website can be understood before it is built. It supports interface design, collaborative review and interactive prototypes, but its real value comes from making decisions visible: content hierarchy, responsive behaviour, reusable components and the states a user will encounter.

From concept to build

We normally begin with page structure and representative content rather than polishing every screen immediately. Once the direction is sound, shared components and variants keep repeated patterns consistent. Prototypes are used where an interaction, transition or journey would be ambiguous in a static layout.

A handover is more than a link

Dev Mode can expose measurements, styles, assets and component information, but a reliable handover also needs context. We mark approved work, describe edge cases and confirm how designs behave between breakpoints. The design file should complement the codebase, not pretend to be it. Content changes, browser behaviour and accessibility checks still have to be handled in the working site.

Common use cases for Figma

We use Figma for page flows, wireframes, interface design, prototypes, shared components, responsive states, and developer handover. It gives clients, designers, writers, and developers one place to review decisions before those decisions become production code.
