When it comes to web design, having a streamlined workflow from design to development is crucial. If you’re using Figma to design your website, transferring those designs to WordPress can be a seamless process, especially with the right tools. ProLooks makes this transition smooth by providing a Figma template file. This template helps you plan your page layouts and present them to clients in a way that mirrors the final website created with ProLooks. Here’s how you can efficiently transfer your designs from Figma to WordPress using ProLooks.

1. Start designing pages with the ProLooks Figma Template

The template is specifically designed to match the components and blocks available in the ProLooks theme. It includes all the design elements and block styles. You can present a design that closely resembles the final product, helping visualize the end result and make informed decisions. Starting with a template that aligns with your theme reduces the time spent on adjustments and rework during the development phase.

2. Export Assets from Figma

Once your design is finalised, export the assets from Figma. This includes images, icons and any other graphical elements.

  • Select the Elements: Choose the elements you want to export in Figma.
  • Set the Export Options: Select the appropriate export settings, such as resolution and file format (e.g., PNG, SVG).
  • Export: Save the files to your local drive, ready to be uploaded to WordPress.

3. Recreate the Design in WordPress Gutenberg, Using ProLooks

Now that you have your assets and a clear design plan, it’s time to recreate your Figma design in WordPress using the ProLooks theme. With a few tweeks, you can transfer the whole website in very short timespan.

4. Tune and test

After the site is transferred, make sure to test:

  • Responsive Design: Verify that your site looks great on all devices, including desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.
  • Functionality: Check all links, buttons, and interactive elements to ensure they work correctly.
  • Performance: Optimize images and use caching plugins to improve site speed and performance.

Conclusion

Transferring your design from Figma to WordPress doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With the ProLooks block theme and its accompanying Figma template, you can create a smooth and efficient workflow. This approach not only saves time but also ensures that the final website closely matches your original design, providing a better experience for both you and your clients.
