Description
Let's face it-- We all need to make prototypes. If you do, you need Figma.
Whether you're a designer or a developer, there are times where you'll need to create a wireframe or prototype in a tool like Figma. Creating prototypes and wireframes is the most efficient way to plan and test concepts before committing to the time-consuming and expensive process of writing code. Figma is the most efficient tool to help you get that done.
If you're designing anything from web sites, to mobile apps, to social content, to tv-based applications, you need a tool to make efficient wireframes and prototypes. That tool is Figma. Free to start, great for working with teams, and powerful, Figma has all the features you need to make attractive and convenient prototypes. You can use your prototypes to get client feedback, test new UI concepts, communicate between designer and developer and much more.
You'll find that you'll want to prototype everything once you learn how to use Figma.
