From Figma Design to Production Website

This is the process of taking a completed design file and turning it into real, working markup, styling, and behavior in a browser, then into a deployed site.

A design file isn't a website. Responsive behavior, real content lengths, interactive states, and performance all have to be built and decided during development, and a design that looks finished can still be a long way from a finished site.

I'm currently building the ERTH website from a Figma design I created myself, across multiple build iterations, checking each one against the design as it goes. Development is still in progress, some sections are further along than others, which is a normal part of this process, not a shortcut being skipped.

Build against real content where possible, not lorem ipsum, since real text and images are what actually break a layout.

Treat responsive breakpoints as design decisions, not an afterthought handled purely in code.

Expect iteration. The first build rarely matches the design exactly, and that gap is where the real refinement happens.

Going from Figma to production is its own skill, separate from designing and separate from writing code. It's where the two have to agree.
