If you are looking for tools for designing responsive projects easily and quickly, Framer y Figma are two options not to be missed. That's why, in our Figma and Framer workshop we held a practical session in which we explored all the possibilities offered by these two tools.

Advantages of designing with Figma
With Figma, we were able to see how easy it is to design all types of interfacesThe use of the web, from mobile applications to complete web pages, all in a very intuitive way. Thanks to features such as auto layout or components, it has become one of the key tools in the design of digital products as it provides many advantages, some of the most important are:
Consistency and efficiency: By using components, consistency in the design of repetitive elements such as buttons, icons and forms is ensured. In addition, the ability to reuse components in different parts of the design saves time and avoids design errors.
Flexibility and speed: with auto layout, it's possible create responsive and adaptive designs quickly and easily. Elements automatically adjust as the layout is resized, saving time and effort in creating multiple versions of the same layout.
Scalability: the use of components and auto layout allows the design to be scalable, i.e. to adapt smoothly to changes in the needs of the project. This translates into a greater efficiency in project management and the ability to react to change quickly and effectively.
Collaboration: the use of components and auto layout in Figma facilitates the collaboration between designers and development teams. By having a shared component library, different team members can work together without duplicating efforts.
What can we do with Framer?
Framer is an ideal tool for the creation of printeractive ototypescomplex animations and since a few months ago also for responsive web design. In addition, Framer has a large number of resources and libraries that facilitate the design and programming process. Its advantages over its competitors are:
Advanced interactions and animations: Framer allows for creating complex animations and smooth transitions between screens that are not possible in other web design tools.
Rapid Prototyping: With Framer, users can creating high fidelity prototypes with ease. The tool offers a library of components and user interface elements that can be customised and reused in different projects. And it is possible to design responsive websites very easily and see the final result at all times.
Integration with code: Framer has a seamless integration with programming, allowing designers and developers to work together on a single project. The tool allows the creation of components and animations, and developers can use the code generated to implement them on the website.
Customisation: Framer is highly customisable and offers a wealth of options for fine-tuning design details. Designers can customising animationsYou can adjust opacity and shadows, and create custom elements with JavaScript.
Usability testing: Framer enables designers to creating usability tests for your website designs. Usability testing can be carried out and designs adjusted accordingly to improve the user experience.
In our workshop, we saw how these two tools can complement each other perfectly to create responsive projects in a simple and effective way. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for UX/UI designers. The ability to create responsive designs is a key task today, as users interact on all types of devices throughout the day. By using Figma and Framer, designers can create designs that adapt to any screen and provide a seamless and consistent user experience.
