The Magic of Figma to Framer

Building websites in Framer has become remarkably straightforward, as users can seamlessly copy and paste designs from Figma to a live website using a plugin. This process not only simplifies the web development workflow but also minimizes the technical barriers that typically come with site building. By selecting layers in Figma, running the plugin, and then pasting the design into Framer, users can rapidly publish their work online, creating an almost magical experience. This innovation highlights the increasing integration of design tools with implementation processes, making it easier for designers to see their concepts realized in real time.
