Why I Never Start In Figma, But Elementor Instead

Why I never Start In Figma, but Elementor instead? In this video I will share my reasons, and more specifically the ONE reason that makes me not start in Figma when the end website is going to be built with WordPress and Elementor / Elementor Pro.

    Thanks! You have just saved me a lot of time learning figma and all the hassle of jumping from figma to elementor. My clients are small businesses with lower budgets so wireframing inside elementor is enough for me and for them. Again - thanks so much! :)

    I used to work directly with Elementor and then I started to make a static wireframe/layout with Illystrator for a couple of clients, to be more "professional", so I can say that you're right about EVERYTHING. Thank you for your video, there are very interesting advice in it. I'll back to work directly on Elementor with a lighter heart.

    This is good idea for small sites when client don't need much. This approach was popular 15 years ago when amatures design sites live without graphic. Photoshop or any other tool gives you better control and faster changes. It's like designing a house you need a project you don't build on a go

    One thing you didn't mention. When you work with assets, creating stuff in photoshop, treating the image, testing for better contrast, color palette, you may want to test it while in the website interface. Isn't it better to have it let's say in photoshop with the interface altogether? Wouldn't the workflow feel more organic? Or you just go testing the image dropping it in WordPress? Great content by the way. Cheers

    Totally agreed :) One notice - if you do not change design settings like fonts, colors etc. in Elementor - you can just clone pages (at the same url) instead of the whole website and send a client links to different pages like /design1.1 /design2.1. And even if you change the design settings - you can set for good after a client choice about the design. What do you think?

    I'm a beginner to wordpress but been working with figma while coding for the past 4 years and my answer to you is: TOTALLY YES! really, waste no time with figma unless you want to learn more about wireframing since there's tons of tutorials online about it (I've only seen this guy here speaking about wireframe in elementor). But once you have an idea of what steps you need to make to create a website, then just do everything inside Wordpress elementor.

    There's only one reason. The projects are simple and small. If you have to do a large project, in a team and several phases to be approved from the marketing board of directors of the company, how can you do it without a design system and version control? It's not possible.

    Learning Figma is a huge amount of time. Same with XD. Funny thing, you learn XD, then you decide to learn Figma. Plus you have to learn Elementor. I learn software fast, but I like the idea of not learning 2-3 apps (40-120 hours plus time to get up to speed) when I could learn 1 and just get to the point of building the site. So this feels like a solid path forward.

    Figma is not designed purely as a design tool. The web or app development usually goes through several prototype stages and user tests. I work with Elementor myself when implementing websites and can't imagine being able to create wireframes efficiently with it.

    I understand what you mean, but it's actually easier than you may think. But the point of the video was more about starting straight in the browser. So that works with any cms based tools and even plug and play WP themes like Astra which is great whether you use a page builder or Gutenberg. The key is wasting the minimum amount of time in smaller / less budget projects.
