You define a master component, and its attributes will flow to all component instances, which in turn can be overridden - but it’s impossible to overwrite a master from the instance itself. This is very similar, in concept, to how components behave in Figma. (And that’s true as you step down the smaller breakpoints as well.) All the paddings, colors, fonts, flex properties, etc., that you define on this viewport will flow downwards, but can never go upwards. You see, the “desktop” version of your site is less a specific viewport than it is a lack of a viewport definition. Webflow is not mobile-first, and although you may think that way with your projects, don’t - I repeat, don’t - design the mobile breakpoints before you go to desktop. For the former, you’ll want to select your element’s state from this dropdown, change its attributes, and then ensure that you have the appropriate transition applied when that class changes the property that you’ve defined. The Interactions panel is great for the latter. Interactions that are more complex, and involve multiple classes and/or elements.Interactions that happen per class, such as when you hover over a button or when an element is clicked, and.That said, it’s worth noting that interactions fall into two different categories: I won’t get into the interaction design weeds here, as this interactions and animations course is a thorough resource. Webflow may give you a better way to articulate how complex some things are to implement. I know from personal experience that we designers always want 102% percent accuracy in our designs, but sometimes there has to be a little give and take. If you’re not the designer, this won’t be as easy to do. In Figma, moving something is as simple as a drag and drop, and each element can live in its own little world, never impacting others.
#FIGMA ANIMATION CODE#
No matter how familiar you are with making websites, things behave differently in code than they do in design tools. But if you’re a designer, this is your chance to see how what you thought would be any easy layout is actually more trouble than it’s worth. I know, I know - everyone’s all about pixel perfection. I’m almost always the designer and the developer, so I can make those decisions, but that might not be true for you.Įither way, here’s a word of advice: Don’t try to match your Figma file pixel for pixel. Then you can add a secondary class to change color (or other properties) for your specific use case.Īnother thing I find myself doing when going from Figma to Webflow, is making changes to the layout to make things easier to implement. This will allow your heading 1 class to deal with size, weight, and positioning, regardless of color. Be sure to keep your classes generically named, clean, and as minimal as possible.įor example, instead of naming something “Black Hero Text,” try creating a combo class of “All H1 Headings” + “Black Text” instead.
#FIGMA ANIMATION HOW TO#
I wrote a lot more about this in my series showing how to build an agency website, which might be helpful. It’s super easy to start, but it can be challenging to keep things clean in larger sites. Styling your classes is both the easiest and most difficult part of Webflow. I’m not going to go into best practices for grids here, but Webflow's landing page tutorial using grid will get you up to speed if you want to explore grid. You can also use the grid element (or set your div’s display property to grid) on your site, if you want to. I usually do this by adding a color-block div, and then changing its color over and over until all of my swatches are in Webflow. If you have one or two, this is a quick process, but if you have a lot, this can be tedious. Once the basic styles are defined, it’s a good time to add all your custom colors. If you’re using the Figma team styles, it’s helpful to keep things organized in a similar fashion. Just define everything on the page to match your Figma file. If you’re using the template I recommended, this should be a snap. A couple hundred kilobytes may seem like chump change, but it’s best to cut weight whenever possible to get that load time down. Pro tip: Fonts are large, so if you want to optimize the performance of your site, select as few weights as needed. If it’s not a Google Font, upload the TTF or OTF file and to select the weights you want. Speaking of custom fonts, if the one you’re using isn’t in the default list, now’s a good time to jump into the project settings and, if it’s a Google Font, select it from the list.
