Figma Sites: innovation or exploitation?
- Figma Sites, a new tool allowing designers to create and publish websites, has raised concerns for producing messy code lacking semantic structure and proper class naming conventions.
- The code generated by Figma Sites contains and tags with irrelevant classes, hindering accessibility and SEO optimization of the resulting websites.
- The tool has been criticized for prioritizing ease of use over code quality, potentially misleading designers and falling short of delivering production-ready code.
- Critics argue that Figma Sites feels rushed to market, aligning with the trend of low-code, no-code tools without emphasizing the importance of solid front-end code.
- Despite being in open beta, Figma Sites is perceived as more of a prototyping tool rather than a tool for creating quality websites due to the subpar code it generates.
- Designers are encouraged to demand better standards from Figma and push for the development of tools that generate semantic, accessible, and SEO-friendly code.
- Suggestions include investing in making Figma Sites a production-ready tool and learning front-end code to improve website performance beyond Figma's design canvas.
