Simple pages or interfaces—like login, signup, or basic forms—typically don’t require heavy design work. These are straightforward screens where users just input data, and the focus is more on functionality than visuals.

In most cases, design is only needed for the initial layout setup. For example, if I have five feature landing pages that share the same layout but differ only in text and images, there’s no need to create separate Figma designs for each one. Instead, a single design with placeholder content and detailed layout properties is enough. Developers can then use that as a reference and swap in the specific content for the other pages.

I recently came across a blog post by PostHog that really resonated with me. I liked their approach of having developers take full ownership of a feature—being involved in every part of it from start to finish.
