Grid systems are a fundamental part of web design. They help us to organize content and create a hierarchy that is easy for users to understand. There are a variety of grid systems that we can use, but in this article, we will focus on the layout grid in Figma.

Creating a layout grid in Figma is a simple process. First, you will need to create a new frame. To do this, click on the “+” icon in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. This will bring up the “New Frame” dialogue box.

In this box, you will need to specify the width and height of your frame, as well as the unit of measurement that you would like to use. For this example, we will use a width of 1200 pixels and a height of 800 pixels. Once you have specified these values, click on the “Create” button.

Now that you have created your frame, it’s time to add your grid. To do this, click on the “Layout” tab in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. This will bring up the “Layout Grid” dialogue box.

In this box, you will need to specify the number of columns and rows that you would like to have in your grid, as well as the gutter size. For this example, we will use 12 columns and 8 rows with a gutter size of 20 pixels. Once you have specified these values, click on the “Apply” button.

And that’s it! You have now successfully created a layout grid in Figma. Now let’s take a look at how we can style text using HTML tags.

The p tag is used to indicate a paragraph of text.

The b tag is used to bold text.

The u tag is used to underline text.

PRO TIP: When creating a layout grid in Figma, be sure to use the correct settings for your project. Using the wrong settings can result in a misaligned or incorrect grid.
