How Do I Wireframe a Website in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 10:37 pm

Wireframing is the first step in the web design process. It involves creating a blueprint of your website that will help you map out its content and structure. Figma is a great tool for wireframing because it offers a wide range of features and templates that make it easy to get started.

When you first open Figma, you will see a blank canvas. To start wireframing your website, you will need to create a frame.

A frame is like a container that holds your content. To do this, click on the “Create new frame” button in the top left corner of the screen.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that Figma is a design tool, not a wireframing tool. While it is possible to wireframe in Figma, it is not recommended as it is not purpose-built for that workflow.

Once you have created your frame, you can start adding content to it. To do this, click on the “Add layer” button in the top right corner of the screen. This will bring up a menu of different types of content that you can add, such as text, images, and shapes.

Once you have added all of your content, you can start styling it. Figma offers a wide range of styling options, such as colors, fonts, and sizing. To access these options, simply click on the element that you want to style and then click on the “Style” tab in the top right corner of the screen.

Once you are happy with your wireframe, you can export it as an image or PDF by clicking on the “Export” button in the top right corner of the screen. You can also share your wireframe with others by clicking on the “Share” button in the top right corner of the screen.

Wireframing is an important step in web design because it helps you map out the structure and content of your website before you start designing it.
