I'm currently planning a redesign of an existing website and would like to hear how other designers approach this process.
For those who have redesigned live, SEO-driven websites:
-
Do you use website-to-Figma import tools, or do you rebuild everything manually?
-
How accurate are these tools when it comes to preserving content hierarchy and page structure?
-
What are the biggest issues you've encountered after importing a website into Figma?
-
Is it faster to import and clean up the design, or start from screenshots and rebuild with Auto Layout and components?
-
How do you balance preserving existing content structure while improving UX and visual hierarchy?
I've been reviewing content-heavy websites such as where maintaining the information architecture is important, and I'm curious whether others have found importing to be a worthwhile starting point or a time-consuming distraction.
I'd love to hear about your workflow, lessons learned, and any tools you'd recommend.
