Figma to Website: the age-old problem

Converting Figma designs to working website like dashboards has been an age-old problem - not just because of the absence of tools, but a fundamental lack of understanding. What a designer sees and envisions in their Figma design is quite different from can be conveyed to a developer

Where does Dualite come into picture

Dualite Alpha brings a different take into this by leverage both the Figma meta-data that captures the aesthetic and design side of things and also uses AI for understanding and putting functionality into all the relevant elements to eventually output a high-quality code

Connecting your Figma account

Click on the Figma icon at the starting screen, and click on Connect Figma

You'll be redirected to an oAuth screen. Please make sure that the oAuth account (singhvirohan01@gmail.com in my case) is the same where your Figma file is in.

Selecting the Figma design and URL

It is important for you to select the Figma and copy the URL. Preferably, the Figma design should be Frame or a Component.

Open the Figma design file

• Select the Frame you want to convert

• Right Click on the design

• Select Copy link to selection

• Paste the copied URL in Alpha the field above and click on "Import"

You can double-check the details in Alpha before proceeding. Once you're confident, click on "Continue with this Design." After clicking, you’ll see the Figma green tick in the chatbot as a confirmation.4o

Type in the prompt, and let's go!

Simply describe in a brief manner what you've designed and click on the blue arrow!

In a few moments, you'll be able to see the preview that you can also deploy or build on top of it. I've here iterated on top of this to make this functional by allowing me to reorder and edit cards in this Kanban setup
