Creating a website that not only looks great but also works smoothly takes a mix of creativity and the right tools. My process is all about turning ideas into digital experiences that represent a brand’s identity and connect with its audience. Here’s a simple breakdown of how I go from concept to a fully built website using tools like Figma for design, Jitter for animation, and Wix Studio for development.
1. Understanding the Brand and Audience:
Before starting any project, I dive deep into understanding the brand and its target audience. This step is super important because the website needs to reflect what the brand stands for and what the audience expects. I spend time talking with the client, doing research, and getting inspired by other websites in the industry. By the end of this phase, I know exactly what direction the design will take and what the website should achieve.
2. Wireframing in Figma: Laying the Foundation:
Next, I use Figma to create wireframes, which are like the blueprints of the website. Wireframes help map out how each page will look and how the site will flow. This stage focuses on the structure—like where buttons, images, and text will go—so it’s easy to visualize the user’s journey on the site.
Figma is also great for collaboration. I can share the wireframes with the client, and they can give feedback right away. Once the wireframe is approved, I use Figma’s tools to design visual elements like custom icons and graphics that align with the brand’s style.
3. Adding Motion with Jitter:
To make the design come alive, I use Jitter to add motion and animations. Motion design is what makes websites feel interactive and engaging. For example, I might use animations for hover effects, transitions between pages, or to highlight important sections. Jitter lets me create smooth, polished animations that don’t slow down the website.
Adding these interactive elements helps make the website more engaging and keeps visitors interested, which is especially important for modern web design.
4. Building the Website in Wix Studio:
Once the design is set, I move on to development in Wix Studio. This platform gives me everything I need to build the website exactly how I envisioned it. Wix Studio makes it easy to integrate the designs from Figma and Jitter, while offering advanced customization options through coding.
In Wix Studio, I also make sure the website is responsive, meaning it looks great on any device—whether it’s a phone, tablet, or desktop. I also optimize the site for SEO, so it’s easily found by search engines, and ensure that everything runs fast and smoothly.
Before launching the site, I test everything. I make sure all the features work correctly, that the site looks good on different devices, and that there are no bugs. This is also when I make any last-minute tweaks to fine-tune the design, like adjusting animations or improving readability.
Once the testing is done and everything works perfectly, I present the final product to the client. My goal is to deliver a website that not only meets but exceeds their expectations, offering a user-friendly and visually impactful experience.
Turning an idea into a stunning website is a process that takes creativity, planning, and the right tools. By using Figma for wireframing, Jitter for motion design, and Wix Studio for development, I’m able to create websites that truly reflect a brand’s essence and deliver a memorable experience for users.
If you’re looking to build a website that stands out and connects with your audience, I’d love to help bring your vision to life. Let’s work together to create something amazing!
