Overall Satisfaction with Figma

I use Figma to produce website wireframes, design systems, and website designs. I work with a small team of other UI/UX designers so we routinely need to share assets on various projects. We switched to Figma from Adobe XD because their asset-sharing libraries work well. In addition to that, our development team prefers how Figma can export assets and CSS styles during handoff.

Pros

  • Sharing assets within a team in way that automatically updates whenever changes are made
  • Auto-layout makes creating responsive layouts easy
  • Components makes converting wireframes to full designs quicker and easier

Cons

  • Figma could be better at allowing users to create responsive layouts at various breakpoints
  • Managing team permissions between drafts and projects takes a bit to get used to
  • Mocking up full width images on desktop is a bit clunky
  • Figma has sped up our web design and development process by allowing us to complete wireframes and prototypes in a few days as opposed to weeks.
  • Figma has made us more competitive with freelancers and smaller agencies.
  • Familiarity with Figma has been a deciding factor in winning new projects.
