A dedicated space for developers
Stay aligned with design intent. Annotate, inspect, compare changes, and work in a focused dev view.
Ship the site you envisioned
Brainstorm, design, and ship in one platform. Figma has tools for every step of the web development process.
Design and web dev, in sync
Go from prompt to publish
Anyone can turn a prompt into a complete website in Figma Make. Whatever you build is code-backed and ready to be shipped.
Align design and code
In Figma, all design components map directly to code components. Your whole team works in a shared space, so annotating, inspection, and editing are efficient.
Build faster with design systems
Design systems are the building blocks of your website. When you start from a component library, it’s easy to swap styles, modules, and layouts.
Features web devs love

Connect design and code
About Code ConnectSync design and code components with Code Connect. What you build is what ships.
Push prototypes to your codebase
Get the MCP docsConnect to the Figma MCP server so everything you build sends to your repo.
Pull in design systems context
About Make KitsBring library styles, npm packages, or code components into Make to ensure outputs look like your product.
Design and ship in one place
About Make LocalUse Figma Make locally to build in any codebase, then ship right to production.
Find and fix inconsistencies
How to check designsQuickly identify which components or values don’t align to your system or library, review suggested updates, then apply changes with a click.
Using Figma Make was a lot simpler than the process of translating the idea to a designer, and then the engineer developing it. It cut down on development time.

FAQ
Figma is a powerful web design and development tool that simplifies the process of creating stunning websites and web applications. It provides a collaborative platform for designers, developers, and other team members to work together seamlessly in real time. Dev Mode in Figma allows designers and developers to work hand-in-hand, improving the efficiency of turning design concepts into fully functional web projects.
Web development is the process of building and maintaining websites and web applications, from the pages you see in a browser to the logic running behind the scenes. It encompasses front-end development (what users interact with), back-end development (servers, databases, and APIs), and full-stack development (both). Whether it's a social media platform, an ecommerce storefront, or an internal business tool, web development is what brings digital products to life. Figma fits naturally into this process as a cloud-based design platform where designers and developers collaborate in real time—turning ideas into polished, production-ready interfaces before a single line of code is written.
Figma streamlines the web design and development process with collaborative design features and Dev Mode, a space that enables developers to translate designs into code, faster. Figma enables a source of truth for web designs and Dev Mode adds structure and organization to the web development process. Developers can inspect designs, copy relevant code, compare versions, and integrate directly with their tech stack.
High-quality web development rests on three pillars that are easy to overlook but critical to ship.
Performance: minimize HTTP requests, compress images, enable browser caching, use a CDN, and minify CSS and JavaScript to reduce load times for all users.
Security: protect against common vulnerabilities like XSS and SQL injection, implement proper authentication, secure API endpoints, and use HTTPS across the board.
Accessibility: follow WCAG guidelines, use semantic HTML, ensure keyboard navigability, and test with screen readers so your product works for everyone.
Starting with a well-structured design in Figma—where responsive layouts, color contrast, and component hierarchies are defined before development—makes it significantly easier to meet all three standards from the first line of code.
Web development is not being replaced by AI—it's being transformed by it. AI tools can accelerate repetitive tasks like boilerplate code generation, unit testing, and basic UI scaffolding, but they don't replace the judgment, architecture decisions, performance tuning, security expertise, or collaborative problem-solving that professional web development requires Figma reflects this shift: Figma AI helps teams generate layouts, iterate on designs faster, and reduce friction in the design-to-development handoff—so developers can focus on building things that matter instead of waiting on specs.
