Moving from Figma to Framer isn’t just about “importing.” To get a truly maintainable system, you need to think in components, tokens, and responsive rules. This article outlines best practices for teams that care about quality and scale.
Think in Systems, Not Screens
In Figma, it’s easy to duplicate frames and tweak. In Framer, duplication without systems gets expensive quickly. Focus on:
Defining core section types (hero, features, proof, pricing, resources).
Identifying shared patterns across pages.
Creating components that can be reused with different content.
Map Figma Components to Framer Components
Translate:
Buttons, inputs, and chips into global components.
Cards and feature blocks into section-level components.
Headers, nav, and footers into layout primitives.
Use props and variations in Framer to control state, density, or style.
Use Tokens Consistently
Align color, typography, and spacing decisions across tools. Consistent token usage means a single change in Framer can propagate everywhere.
Design Responsively From Day One
Use stacks, alignment, and min/max constraints rather than absolute positioning. Your Figma designs should anticipate how content wraps and scales so the Framer implementation feels natural across breakpoints.
Conclusion
The best Figma → Framer projects treat Figma as the design brain and Framer as the execution engine. When components, tokens, and structure are aligned, your website becomes easier to extend, not harder.

Allsite designs and builds high-end, production-ready websites - from strategy and design direction to Framer development and launch. The website is treated as a core business asset: product narrative, trust layer, and conversion surface in one.
Yes - brand work as it relates to the website. This includes visual identity refinement, design systems, typography, color, layout logic, and tone. Allsite does not position itself as a full-service branding agency - focus beats breadth.
Framer enables faster iteration, cleaner handover, and a more modern editing experience - especially for content-driven, design-forward teams. For complex, CMS-heavy, or AI-native products, Framer offers a better balance of flexibility and maintainability.
No. Projects can start from anything - from rough ideas to existing designs. If a Figma file exists, great. If not, design direction and structure are part of the process.
Projects typically start with a short design & strategy phase, followed by design, build, and launch. Most projects take 3–6 weeks, depending on scope and feedback speed.
