Course Outline: The Key Topics Covered in From Figma to WordPress

Responsive Design

Build mobile responsive designs using all the tools covered.

Here’s what each module covers

Module 1: Figma Design
This first module focuses on covering the basics of working in Figma. You’ll learn how to set up your artboard, add frames, configure your colours, configure your typography, set up your 8-point grid, and create reusable components to speed up your design process. Once you’ve learnt the basics of working with Figma, I’ll take you through the complete design process, focusing on building a one-page design for a UI/UX designer.

By the time you’ve worked your way through the entire process of building the design, we’ll be using for each of the next modules, you’ll have a solid understanding of not only the fundamental tools and skills needed but also some awesome time-saving ones too.

Module 2: Building The Design With Elementor
In this module, you’ll learn how to take the design created in the first module in Figma and rebuild it using the popular WordPress page builder, Elementor. You’ll learn how to speed up your workflow and design process using global styling.

For ongoing compatibility, you’ll be using the new Elementor Container widget to work with the most flexible and future-proof techniques. This will entail working with the Flexbox method of building the final design and using a very similar toolset to the other modules in the course.

This module will then focus on each of the sections of the landing page in its own dedicated lesson and will finally wrap up by ensuring the final design is mobile responsive.

Module 3: Building The Design With GeneratePress & GenerateBlocks
In this module, you’ll learn how to take the design created in the first module in Figma using Gutenberg. We’ll be using the popular GeneratePress & GenerateBlocks theme and block builder to provide an easy-to-use and flexible platform.

You could easily substitute this combo for most other modern WordPress themes and block plugins and achieve the same results. The main aim is to give you a streamlined, fast-loading suite of tools to build the final mobile responsive design.

Module 4: Building The Design With Bricks Builder
This module focuses on taking the Figma design and building it using Bricks Builder for WordPress. You’ll benefit from using global styling and other methods of making your design process smooth and streamlined.

The final stage will be ensuring that the design is fully mobile responsive.
