Figma to Code: Best Practices for Handoff

The Handoff Problem

Often there is a misunderstanding between designers and developers. The designer draws “beautifully”, but the developer cannot code it. To avoid this, you need to follow a few rules.

1. Use Auto Layout

This is the most important rule. If your layout is made on Auto Layout, it already behaves like a website. The developer immediately sees the padding, margin, and behavior of elements when resizing.

2. Name Your Layers

Frame 1234 tells no one anything. Name layers meaningfully: Header, Button, Card. This will help the developer navigate the structure faster.

3. Dev Mode

Use Dev Mode in Figma. It allows developers to copy CSS code, view animation parameters, and download assets in the desired format.

Pre-handoff Checklist

  • All screens on Auto Layout
  • Layers named clearly
  • Color and font styles linked to library
  • Icons in vector (SVG)
