Builds web page mockups, with interactivity.
Designers these days should be thinking of the full web page. Hover states, transitions, where links go, accessibility, color, how it looks on mobile, desktop, 4k, etc.
Using Photoshop to build websites is so 2010s and modern designers use something like Figma for that.
Collaborative tool for drawing, sketching, charting, etc. in real time with others. Personally my team.uses it for the FigJam feature which lets us brainstorm ideas like on a whiteboard. It’s much easier to explain an idea with a whiteboard than in an email that tries to explain functions or features.
Design software, think Photoshop/Illustrator but it’s more focused on website/app design.
No, it’s more like a free Illustrator especially made for web design. Although it’ll spit out some shitty code, Figma isn’t a WYSIWYG static site generator. But you can still build prototypes and mockups of limited functionality complete with animations and user clicks that are just for show. It also has a fairly sizeable community with plug-ins and templates. It’s a really neat tool overall.
