As the founder of Wize Design and Wize Templates, I've been in this game for over seven years. I've worked on website designs for major names like Sony, G2 eSports, HP, and NYU.

This article is for:

• Designers and developers seeking to integrate Figma designs seamlessly into Framer.

• Teams looking to optimize their workflow by utilizing pre-made Framer templates.

• Individuals aiming to enhance their prototyping skills and create more dynamic designs.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, importing Figma designs to Framer and utilizing pre-made Framer templates can significantly accelerate your process and elevate the quality of your designs. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through the process of importing Figma designs to Framer and provide tips on finding the right Framer templates to enhance your projects.

Importing Figma To Framer

The easiest way to import designs from Figma to Framer, is with the Figma to HTML with Framer Plugin.

The plugin allows you to effortlessly take existing layouts from your Figma file, copy them with it, and then simply paste with Ctrl + V in your Framer canvas, allowing you to recreate layouts in seconds.

Here is how the process of copying layouts looks like:

1. Install the Figma to HTML with Framer plugin

2. In Figma, select what you want to copy

3. Go to the Figma menu → Plugins → Figma to HTML with Framer

4. In Framer, open a new or existing project

5. Paste on the canvas

Best Practices for Using Figma to HTML with Framer Plugin

A few things to keep in mind when using the plugin:

• Although Framer copies the exact layout from Figma, the way you structure your layers greatly impacts the end result. For instance - using Auto Layout in Figma, when possible, will give you a more flexible export.
  
  

• When pasting to Framer, always check the width and height settings of all copied layers to make sure they are set up correctly, and can be responsive.
  
  

• The plugin can be used to copy and paste all graphical elements - frames, groups, text, images, vectors, etc. However, if you have a video element (for example) planned on the Figma design, you will have to insert the Video component from Framer instead of copying over the layout, and you would have to manually adjust it
  
  

• Try to import small parts of the project, one at a time, and assemble the design in Framer. You cannot take the full design and paste it in because that will create a lot of potential bugs and errors.

The plugin should be used to give you a great starting point to your Framer project and save you time with setting up fonts and basic layouts.

Things that make sense to import with the plugin:

• Texts

• Buttons

• Text layouts

• Cards

Why Pre-Made Framer Templates Are Superior

You generally have a few options when you want to build a new Framer website:

• Start from scratch on Framer

• Start from scratch on Figma, and then import to Framer

• Start from a Framer template

In the following articles, we'll explore a few reasons why starting from a pre-made Framer Template might be the right choice for you.

Time Efficiency

If you choose a good template, it will save you tons of time.

It provides you with a defined look & feel, a defined conversion funnel, and already designed sections just waiting for you to fill them with content.

Consistency and Quality

If you don't have much web design and development experience, you might find it too difficult to come up with design concepts, and keeping the styles consistent and high quality.

Most templates are built by professionals with years of experience in the field so all of those basics that take years to master will be handled for you.

Utilizing Advanced Framer Features

If you are new to Framer you might not be aware of all possible features you can add to your website. And even if you are aware of them it might be too difficult to make them work.

A pre-made template has that figured out for you.

Optimized For Conversions

Our templates at Wize Templates are all optimized to lead the user to convert to a warm lead. Either via a Calendly embed, a contact form, or a newsletter subscription field.

Your website's goal should be to attract more leads but if they don't have an effective way to convert themselves… Guess what. They won't.

However, the conversion elements themselves, although important, are not the only important factor when it comes to conversions.

All of our templates have carefully thought-out funnels that give your users everything they need to know before they are able to make a decision, and move forward with your services.
