Crear un prototipo de página web en Figma app - Parte 1

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a website prototype using the Figma app. Figma is a powerful design tool that allows you to create interactive designs and prototypes easily. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to get started, making it a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced designers.

Step 1: Set Up Your Figma Project

• Create an Account: If you don’t have a Figma account, sign up at Figma's website.
• Start a New File:
  • Open Figma and click on "New File" to begin your project.
• Choose a Frame:
  • Select the "Frame" tool from the toolbar to define the screen size for your prototype (e.g., Desktop, Mobile).

Step 2: Gather Your Resources

• Find Images: Use stock images from Pexels for your design.
• Download Images: Save the images you want to use in your prototype. You can access the collection through this link.
• Organize Assets: Import the images into your Figma project by dragging them into the canvas or using the "File" > "Place Image" option.

Step 3: Design Your Layout

• Add Shapes and Text:
  • Use the shape tools (rectangle, circle, line) to create buttons and sections of your layout.
  • Use the text tool to add headings, descriptions, and other necessary text elements.
• Arrange Elements:
  • Position your images, shapes, and text to create a visually appealing layout.
• Use Grids:
  • Consider enabling a grid for better alignment and spacing between elements.

Step 4: Create Interactive Components

• Prototype Mode:
  • Switch to prototype mode by clicking on the "Prototype" tab in the right sidebar.
• Link Screens:
  • Select an element (like a button) and drag the node to the frame you want to link it to.
  • Set the interaction type (e.g., On Click).
• Add Transitions:
  • Choose how the transition will occur (e.g., dissolve, slide).

Step 5: Preview and Test Your Prototype

• Preview:
  • Click on the "Present" button in the top right corner to view your prototype in action.
• Test Interactions:
  • Navigate through your prototype to ensure all links and interactions work as intended.
