Gjethe turns Figma designs into production websites in Next.js, Webflow or WordPress. We translate your styles into design tokens, build reusable components, fill in missing responsive and interaction states, meet accessibility standards and connect a CMS, matching the design closely while keeping the code clean.

Definition
What is Figma to website?
Figma to website (also called Figma to code) is the front-end development of a website from a Figma design file, converting layouts, components and styles into responsive, accessible code or a no-code build.
Designers lose sleep over handoff: spacing that drifts, fonts that render differently, hover states that never appear. A good build respects the design's intent, not just its pixels, and asks the right questions when the file is silent, how does this look on a small phone, what happens with a long title, where does focus go?
Who is it for?
Freelance designers
You design; you need a developer who respects your work and handles everything after the Figma file.
Design agencies
A website that shows your work, with case studies you can update yourself.
In-house design teams
Your team designs the marketing site but has no front-end developer to build it.
Startups with a finished design
You commissioned a design and now need it live, fast and maintainable.

What a Figma file needs for a smooth build
Missing pieces are fine, we'll ask, but having these ready saves rounds of questions.
- Mobile and desktop versions of each template
- Text styles and colour styles or variables
- Auto layout on frames, so spacing is unambiguous
- Hover, focus and active states for interactive elements
- Real or realistic content, including long titles
- Exported or exportable icons and images
How do we stay faithful to the design?
We start by translating the design's styles into tokens (named values for colours, type sizes, spacing and radii) so the code speaks the same language as the Figma file. When the designer changes a token, the whole site follows.
Repeated elements become components with defined variants and states. That's where most handoff problems hide: a button that has a hover style in Figma but no disabled style, a card that works with a short title but not a long one. We list these gaps, propose a solution in the spirit of the design, and confirm it with you.
Before launch, the designer reviews the build in the browser and leaves comments directly on the page. Fixes are made against those comments, so sign-off is based on the real site rather than screenshots.
Which platform should your Figma design become?
| Platform | Choose it when |
|---|---|
| Next.js | Performance, custom features or a future web app matter; a developer will handle structural changes |
| Webflow | Your designers and marketers want to keep editing visually after launch |
| WordPress | Your editors already know WordPress or need its plugin ecosystem |
What happens to each part of your design
Styles and variables
Become design tokens in code or global classes in Webflow, so the system stays consistent.
Components
Become reusable code components or Webflow components with the same variants and properties.
Page frames
Become templates connected to a CMS, so new pages don't need a developer.
Prototype interactions
Become real animations, tuned for performance and reduced-motion preferences.
How Figma to website works, step by step
Every step has a clear output you can review. Timing is agreed in your quote.
- 1
File review
We go through the Figma file and send a short list of questions about states, breakpoints and behaviour.
- 2
Tokens and components
Styles become tokens; repeated elements become components before pages are built.
- 3
Page build
Templates assembled from components and connected to content.
- 4
Design review
You or your designer compare the build against Figma and leave comments.
- 5
Polish and QA
Accessibility, performance and cross-browser checks.
- 6
Launch or handover
Deployment to your hosting or handover of the repository or Webflow project.
Tools, and what shapes your quote
Pricing is based on your project and agreed in your quote. These are the things that move it.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Number of unique templates | Pages that share components build faster than one-off layouts. |
| Completeness of the file | Missing breakpoints and states have to be designed during the build. |
| Animation | Complex scroll and interaction effects need extra development and testing. |
| CMS needs | Editable content requires a content model and editor set-up. |
| Platform | Webflow builds, WordPress themes and Next.js apps involve different work. |
| Area | Tools |
|---|---|
| Design input | Figma, Dev Mode, variables and styles |
| Build | Next.js, React, TailwindCSS, Webflow, WordPress |
| CMS | Sanity, Webflow CMS, WordPress |
| Quality | axe, Lighthouse, Playwright, BrowserStack |
Common mistakes to avoid
What we see go wrong most often, and how a good project avoids it.
Building pixel-by-pixel without components
Hard-coded pages look right on day one and drift apart with every change. Components keep them consistent.
Desktop-only designs
Leaving mobile to the developer's imagination produces layouts the designer never approved.
Ignoring real content
Designs with short placeholder titles break when real, longer text arrives.
Accessibility as an afterthought
Contrast, focus order and labels are cheaper to get right during the build than after.
Frequently asked questions
How close to the design will the build be?
Very close. We match spacing, typography and layout, and flag any place where the design can't work as drawn, for example on very small screens, before deciding together.
What if my Figma file has no mobile version?
We can design the mobile layouts following your desktop design and send them for approval before building.
Which platform should I build in?
Webflow if your team wants visual editing, WordPress if editors know it, Next.js for performance and custom features. We'll recommend one based on how the site will be used.
Do you work white-label for agencies?
No. We work directly with the businesses we build for, under our own name. See web development for agencies.
Can you build our design system in code?
Yes. We can turn your Figma components and variables into a coded component library that your product and marketing sites share.
Will the site be accessible?
We build to WCAG 2.2 AA: semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, focus states, labels and sufficient contrast, and we flag design colours that fail contrast.
Can you work from Adobe XD or Sketch files too?
Yes, although Figma is our main tool. We can work from XD or Sketch exports, or import the files into Figma first.
Do you design the parts the Figma file is missing?
Yes. We design missing states, breakpoints and edge cases in the spirit of your design and send them for approval before building, so nothing is improvised without your sign-off.
Can we keep updating the design after launch?
Yes. Because the build uses tokens and components, design changes in Figma can be applied consistently. We can also set up a workflow where your designer's updates are implemented on a monthly basis.
How do you handle fonts and licences?
We use the fonts in your design and check their web licences. Licensed fonts are purchased in your name or supplied by you; Google Fonts are self-hosted for speed and privacy.
Can you build only part of a site, like new landing pages?
Yes. We regularly build individual templates or landing pages from Figma into an existing Next.js, Webflow or WordPress site, matching what's already there.
