Design for the Web Without Figma

I think that's exactly the wrong conclusion. Creativity thrives on constraints. Knowing how to cut with the grain makes getting the most out of the material much easier. While we've thankfully moved on from the pixel-perfect nonsense, with its spacer gifs and rounded corner images, the no-constraints thinking of today still exists in that mind space.

Leave Figma to the early conceptual stages of web design. Or put it to good use for native mobile development, when you rarely have a choice. But embrace doing the bulk of the design for the web directly in the core elements of its periodic table.
