Key features of Figma
A design tool in the browser, built for real-time collaboration, design systems and the handover to development.
Real-time collaboration as the foundation
Several people work on the same file at once, everyone sees the others' cursors, and a simple link is enough to share a mockup. No more PDF exports and version ping-pong: the client comments directly on the relevant screen.
- Live multi-user editing, in the browser
- Contextual comments, perfect for client approvals
- Version history and branches on the higher plans
Components and design systems
Components, variants, auto layout, styles and variables (colours, typography, spacing): Figma lets you build true design systems. A button changed once updates everywhere — that's what allows us to guarantee visual consistency on sites of several dozen pages.
Interactive prototyping
Screen flows, transitions, overlays, scrolling: a mockup becomes a clickable prototype without writing a line of code. Ideal for testing a user journey or getting navigation approved before development.
Dev Mode: the bridge to integration
Dev Mode exposes measurements, styles, variables and code snippets for each element. Our integrators find exactly the design specifications there, which reduces the gaps between mockup and live site.
FigJam and AI
FigJam covers workshops (wireframes, journeys, brainstorming) upstream of design. The AI features (first-draft generation, layer renaming, visual search) speed up the thankless tasks without replacing art direction.

Strengths and limits
Our honest verdict after hundreds of mockups delivered in Figma.
What we like
- Unmatched real-time collaboration, everything in the browser
- Powerful design systems: components, variants, variables
- Clickable prototyping without code
- Dev Mode, which makes the mockup → integration handover reliable
- A generous free plan to explore
- The market standard: easier hiring and handover
What may hold you back
- A per-editor cost that climbs fast in a team
- A functional richness intimidating for a beginner
- Cloud dependency — very limited offline
- The pricing grid (seat types) lacks clarity
THE AGENCY VERDICT
Our review of Figma
Figma has simply changed the way we design websites: mockups shared in one link, client comments directly on the screens, a design system reusable from one project to the next and a clean bridge to integration thanks to Dev Mode. The free plan is enough to explore, but the per-editor cost climbs fast in a team and the tool's richness can be intimidating at first. It is now an absolute standard of web design, and the tool on which all our website projects begin.
