How Do I Add a Navigation Bar in Figma?

Last updated on December 1, 2022 @ 11:18 am

If you’re working on a web design project in Figma, you may want to add a navigation bar to your design. Fortunately, Figma makes it easy to add a navbar to your design. Here’s how:

    1. Create a new frame in Figma. To do this, click the “+” icon in the left sidebar. Then, select “Frame” from the drop-down menu.

    2. Name your frame “Navbar.”

    3. In the “Navbar” frame, create three rectangles. These will be the buttons in your navigation bar. To do this, click the “Rectangle” tool in the left sidebar. Then, click and drag on your canvas to create a rectangle.

    4. Give each rectangle a different color. This will help you differentiate between the buttons later on.

    5. Add text to each button.To do this, double-click on the button you want to add text to. Then, type in the desired text.

    6. Resize the frame to fit all of the buttons. To do this, click and drag one of the handles on the “Navbar” frame.

    7. Duplicate the “Navbar” frame. To do this, right-click on the frame and select “Duplicate” from the drop-down menu.

    8. In the duplicated frame, delete one of the buttons. This will be your active button.

    9. Change the color of the active button. This will help indicate to users which page they’re currently on.

PRO TIP: Adding a navigation bar in Figma is a simple process, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure that your navigation bar is placed on the top layer of your design. Secondly, make sure that the width of your navigation bar is the same as the width of your design. And finally, make sure that your navigation bar is aligned with the top of your design.
