What is Figma?
Figma is a professional design tool used to create high-fidelity website mockups before a website is developed.
Woww uses Figma to visually plan what your website will look and feel like before the agency builds it in WordPress or another web design platform. This allows you to review the design, layout, colours, typography, imagery and content flow before development begins.
Historically, website design often happened directly inside the development phase. This could make feedback slower, changes more difficult and expectations harder to align on.
With Figma, you get a clear visual blueprint of your website before anything is built. This means you can see how each page will look, provide feedback and approve the design direction with confidence.
Once the Figma mockups are approved, Woww's development team uses them as the guide to build your website into WordPress or hand off to another development team. This helps ensure the final website is beautiful, brand aligned, conversion focused and built with a clear plan from the start.
Why does Woww use Figma?
Woww has always believed that great web design starts with a clear visual plan. Figma allows the Woww team to design high-quality website mockups before development begins, so everyone can see exactly what the website should look and feel like.
Because Figma is a collaborative design tool, it makes the feedback process much easier. Clients can review the design, comment on specific sections and approve the visual direction before Woww starts building the website in WordPress.
This helps Woww's team work more efficiently and reduces unnecessary rework during development. Instead of figuring out the design while building, the agency first creates a clear blueprint that guides the full website build.
By using Figma for the design stage, Woww's designers can focus on creating a beautiful, brand-aligned, conversion-focused website. Once approved, the agency's developers can then focus on bringing that design to life in WordPress as accurately and efficiently as possible.
This gives Woww's clients a smoother process, clearer expectations and a final website that has been properly planned before a single page is developed.

Woww Figma web design process
A typical Figma design process starts by understanding the goals of the website, the target audience, the required pages and the content that needs to be included.
From there, the design team will usually create a sitemap or page structure to define how the website should be organised. For more complex websites, low-fidelity wireframes may also be created to plan the layout, user journey, content hierarchy and key conversion points before any detailed visual design begins.
Once the structure is approved, the design moves into high-fidelity mockups in Figma. This is where the website starts to come to life visually. The designer applies the brand colours, typography, imagery, buttons, spacing, layout styles and key content to create a realistic preview of what the final website will look like.
The client then reviews the Figma designs and provides feedback. Because Figma is collaborative, comments can be added directly onto specific sections of the design, making it easier to understand what needs to change.
After feedback is reviewed, the designer refines the mockups until the design direction is approved. This helps align everyone on the look, feel and user experience before development begins.
Once signed off, the Figma design becomes the visual blueprint for the website build. The development team then uses the approved mockups to recreate the design in WordPress as accurately as possible, while making sure the final website is responsive, functional, fast and easy to manage.
Woww Figma best practices
1. Start with structure before visuals
Before designing beautiful screens, make sure the page has the right structure.
Focus on:
- Page goal
- User journey
- Content hierarchy
- Calls to action
- Key conversion points
- Desktop and mobile layout logic
A great-looking page with poor structure will still underperform.
2. Use a clear grid system
Set up layout grids for desktop, tablet and mobile.
Common desktop set-up:
- Twelve-column grid
- Max content width around 1 200px to 1 440px
- Consistent gutters and margins
This helps developers recreate the design accurately in WordPress, Elementor or any other builder.
3. Design with responsive behaviour in mind
Do not only design a beautiful desktop layout.
Think about how each section will stack on mobile:
- What content appears first?
- Do columns stack cleanly?
- Do images crop well?
- Are buttons easy to tap?
- Does the page still make sense without hover effects?
At minimum, design desktop and mobile versions for important pages.
4. Use components for repeated elements
Create reusable components for:
- Buttons
- Navigation menus
- Cards
- Forms
- Testimonials
- FAQ items
- Pricing cards
- CTA sections
- Footers
This keeps the design consistent and makes updates much easier.
5. Create proper styles
Set up styles for:
- Colours
- Headings
- Body text
- Buttons
- Links
- Spacing
- Shadows
- Borders
This avoids random one-off styling and gives the development team a clear design system to follow.
6. Keep typography consistent
Define a simple type system.
For example:
- H1
- H2
- H3
- Body large
- Body normal
- Small text
- Button text
Avoid using too many font sizes, weights and line heights. Inconsistent typography makes a website feel messy.
7. Design real content, not just placeholder text
Use real copy as early as possible.
Lorem ipsum can hide layout problems. Real copy shows whether the section actually works, whether the message is clear and whether the design can handle different content lengths.
8. Name layers and sections clearly
Use clean naming like:
- Hero Section
- Services Grid
- Testimonial Card
- Primary CTA
- Contact Form
- Footer Navigation
This makes the file easier for designers, clients and developers to understand.
9. Keep spacing consistent
Use a spacing system instead of random gaps.
For example:
- 8px
- 16px
- 24px
- 32px
- 48px
- 64px
- 96px
Consistent spacing makes the design feel more polished and easier to build.
10. Design for accessibility
Good web design should be easy to read and use.
Check:
- Text contrast
- Font size
- Button size
- Form field clarity
- Link visibility
- Navigation readability
- Mobile tap targets
Avoid tiny grey text, low-contrast buttons and overly complicated layouts.
11. Keep the design realistic for development
Figma allows you to design almost anything, but not everything is practical to build within budget.
Design with the final platform in mind. For Woww, that usually means WordPress, Elementor, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms and trusted plugins.
This helps avoid designs that look amazing in Figma but become slow, expensive or difficult to manage once built.
12. Use comments properly for feedback
Clients should comment directly on the relevant area in Figma.
Good comments are specific:
“Can we make this CTA clearer?”
“Can we use a more premium image here?”
“Can this section focus more on lead generation?”
Bad comments are vague:
“Make it pop.”
“Not sure about this.”
“I don’t like it.”
13. Prepare the file for developer handover
Before handing over to development, make sure:
- Final pages are clearly labelled
- Desktop and mobile versions are included
- Components are tidy
- Assets are exportable
- Fonts and colours are defined
- Interactions are explained
- Any unusual behaviour is documented
14. Get approval before development
The Figma stage should align everyone before the website is built.
Once the design is approved, changes should become more controlled. This prevents endless rework during development and keeps the project on time and on budget.
Simple rule
A good Figma file should not just look impressive.
It should make the website easier to understand, easier to approve, easier to build and easier to manage after launch.
