Step 1: Understand Designer-Developer Handoff

• Recognize the importance of effective communication between designers and developers.
• Establish a clear process for sharing design specifications and assets.
• Use DhiWise to bridge the gap, facilitating a smooth transition from design to code.

Step 2: Export Your Figma Design

• Open your Figma design file.
• Select the elements you want to export.
• Use the export feature in Figma to save your design assets in appropriate formats (e.g., SVG, PNG).
• Upload the exported assets to DhiWise to begin the conversion process.

Step 3: Generate HTML and CSS Code

• In DhiWise, select the option to convert your Figma design into code.
• The platform will automatically generate clean, human-readable HTML and CSS.
• Review the generated code to ensure it meets your requirements.

Step 4: Create Reusable Components

• Use DhiWise’s visual editor to create reusable components from your design elements.
• Identify elements that repeat throughout your design (e.g., buttons, cards).
• Save these elements as components for efficient use across your project.

Step 5: Implement Responsive Design

• Utilize DhiWise's tools to ensure your design is responsive.
• Test how your design adapts to different screen sizes (mobile, tablet, desktop).
• Make adjustments in the visual editor to enhance responsiveness.

Step 6: Inspect and Refine the Code

• Access the code inspection feature in DhiWise.
• Analyze the generated HTML and CSS for any adjustments needed.
• Refine the code by making edits directly in the platform or exporting it for further modification in your preferred code editor.

Step 7: Understand BEM Methodology

• Familiarize yourself with BEM (Block Element Modifier) naming conventions.
• Apply BEM principles to your CSS classes for better organization and maintainability.
• Example of BEM structure:

  <div class="block">
    <div class="block__element block__element--modifier"></div>
  </div>
