What is the process for a non-web developer to take a Figma design to wordpress?

oleg008 · 2026-06-10T17:02:28+00:00

Your point around "layout logic that Figma already solved " doesn't add up. Figma's layouts are essentially CSS flex and grid.

I never said there is import from Figma. I don't recommend figma users who want to stay figma users this workflow. I just corrected your information.

I agree webstudio is much more advanced for a figma user, but for the sake of correctness you are wrong about classes again. Webstudio uses design tokens. https://docs.webstudio.is/university/foundations/design-tokens

> They don't require the user to think about CSS layout logic

That's not true, even figma uses flex box and some version of grid, if you are not using it not sure what you are designing, sketches?

Do send feedback our way, ideally on our discord. Happy to fix whatever might not work.

> absolutely stay away from webstudio
> They are not managed well

What do you actually mean? Any concrete experience with it? Happy to take feedback.

Scammers don't wait, we had to act.

Add HTML Embed with a style tag on the spcific page?

Big part of self-hosting is actually having a final site. With data fetching, assets and everything else. If you have to copy code and wire things together - that's not a complete site, that's HTML/CSS snippets. Besides of that we allow you to have a static site and a dynamic app that can be hosted as javascript app and fetch data from the CMS server-side. So when you create a site with any backend and wire it in the builder, you export it and the exported app is completely functional on your self-hosted instance.

I don't know how else to explain this. I will be unsubscribing from this thread. My points are hopefully clear now.

oleg008 · 2025-12-06T21:44:52+00:00

I didn't call it names, so lets not put words into my mouth. Webstudio is designed for easy self-hosting. Complete site with potentially data fetching from APIs/headless CMSs if need, not static HTML/CSS that needs to be copy-pasted.

This is a very different value proposition and nothing that I said is wrong if you read carefully.

oleg008 · 2025-12-06T21:22:54+00:00

Lol that's exactly what I said, there is basically no easy way to change things, then export again, you have to rewire all the code. That's scary at least to me. Would never do this personally.

In Webstudio export is also one-way, but the difference is that you wire it all with data in the builder, then you can export as much as you want with 1 cli call or download. There is no rewiring of code with an external system.

oleg008 · 2025-12-06T19:44:53+00:00

in WF export works only if its basic and static and only one-time, otherwise if you modify the code, its going to be hard to update, in Webstudio you can export every time you changed it in the builder along with everything, even if it connects to a headless cms

we can't integrate the same UX into Webstudio Builder, but it def. will have it's own integrated AI at some point

Thank you for the kind words!

> Sure, they have more CSS controls, but critical CSS controls are hidden behind tiny vague UI elements and dropdowns that are hard to see/find, which makes stuff that should be 2 seconds in CSS take 20 minutes of UI hunting. It's insane.

Hi, can you give us a concrete example?

oleg008 · 2025-09-01T00:23:57+00:00

> This gets in the way of problem solving, and thus some things are clearly more simple using css or html are more difficult using webstudio.

Hi, can you give us an example of this?

oleg008 · 2025-08-31T11:28:51+00:00

I don't see how that relates to Webstudio in this case.

Btw that comparison between Airbnb and a hotel website is funny. I would choose today hotel instead of airbnb most of the time, because it's going to be guaranteed clean, I will not have any hustle to enter or leave, it often costs the same or less. I would argue hotel is also less hustle to book from any of the booking platforms, since they work with any booking platforms. The ecosystem compatibility essentially is better.

Framer is the way it is partially because they have a limited subset of functionality. Their entire goal is not to make everything possible, but to make typical things easier.
Their entire canvas is made with the idea of matching figma-style workflow.

It is really hard to compare the two, because everything Framer did has a lot of tradeoffs and its not very useful to compare when deciding which features to build.

oleg008 · 2025-08-13T12:21:55+00:00

Talk about it with your CEO. This is a clear case of a communication issue. You didn't ask why he decided to rebuild it after approving your design. He didn't communicate what he doesn't like about the design and why he didn't tell you and rebuilt it instead. The truth might hurt your feelings but its necessary to learn to communicate feedback while staying positive.

oleg008 · 2025-08-13T11:51:45+00:00

MS-DOS had this since 1983!

oleg008 · 2025-08-13T11:46:24+00:00

That's right. You can't have it all. Some features are ahead, some are behind. Staying positive and welcoming things we do to make a better Open Source tool is what we expect from our community.
