Welcome to this tutorial on Figma. In this book, we’ll immerse ourselves in everything Figma has to offer as we design a simple web page. The layout of this page will be based on an older and a newer version of the iA Writer website’s splash page. Figma is the most complete tool for designing apps, websites, and other types of user interfaces (UIs). Unsurprisingly, it’s also the most-used UI design tool according to the 2022 Design Tools Survey.

Figma can take product design teams all the way from ideation to high-fidelity prototyping—covering all the design processes in between. It can also facilitate diagramming, collaboration, and research, although these may sometimes require the use of third-party plugins or Figma’s secondary tool, FigJam. Figma’s design handoff and design system management features can help bridge the gap between design and development. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and as a browser app. We’ll need access to Figma in one of these forms to complete this book.

In this first tutorial, we’ll focus on acquainting ourselves with Figma. We’ll learn where everything is, while using some of Figma’s biggest and most exciting features. In the end, we’ll have created a low-fidelity but functional (simulated) prototype.

Who Should Read This Book?
This book is for anyone who wants to better understand Figma, the design and collaboration app. No prior experience of Figma is required, but it's assumed you have some design experience.
