My UI Design Process: From Inspiration to Code in Minutes ⌛
Everyone asks me how I build interfaces for my projects. Here's my simple 3-step process that works every time.
Step 1: Find What Already Works
I don't start from scratch. Why would I? I look for websites and apps that are already successful. SaaS companies that are making money. Landing pages that convert well.
I use pages.report to find inspiration - it's a goldmine of real landing pages from successful companies. Much better than just browsing random sites.
If it's working for them, it can work for me.
Step 2: Design in Figma
I take screenshots of sections I like. Hero sections, pricing tables, testimonials. Then I recreate them in Figma.
I'm not copying exactly. I'm taking the best parts and making them fit my brand and needs. Mix and match different elements.
Figma lets me see how everything looks together before I code anything.
Step 3: Screenshot to Code
This is where the magic happens. I take my Figma designs and use AI tools that convert screenshots to code.
No more spending hours writing HTML and CSS. Just screenshot, paste, and get working code.
Why This Works
- I start with proven designs
- Figma helps me plan everything
- AI handles the boring coding parts
- I focus on what matters: my product
The whole process takes maybe 2-3 hours instead of days. And I know the design will work because it already worked for someone else.
