Figma Sites – What We Heard and What’s Next
 

Thank you for sharing

Hi everyone! Thank you for joining the conversation and sharing your experiences with Figma Sites following our Config 2025 announcements. Your posts — from first impressions to deep technical insights — help us understand where Figma Sites is landing well and where we need to refine the experience.

We've read every reply in the thread and are sharing this summary with both our product and engineering teams to help shape what comes next.

 

What we heard

Here are the most common and impactful themes raised by the community here in Figma Forum:

 

1. Accessibility: Export Options & Integration Flexibility

A key request was the ability to export clean, semantic HTML/CSS or integrate Figma Sites with existing CMS tools. Many of you see Figma Sites as a powerful tool — if it can fit into their broader publishing and dev ecosystems.

“Are there plans to allow code export (HTML + CSS for publishing elsewhere, or to integrate into other CMS’s or existing codebases)? That would be the make-or-break feature for my use.” (2 likes)
 — Etienne_Despres

 

2. Accessibility: Structure, Interactions & Design

From nested pages to font fidelity, scroll-to-section behavior to video embeds, designers are eager to bring more interactivity and polish to Sites — especially when building client work or portfolios. Designers illustrated the importance of Figma being sensitive to the folks using this product and the opportunities to make it more accessible for all.

“Figma, at your scale, I would implore you to get this right and not ship products that will perpetuate continued creation of inaccessible digital products. Your average user may never notice these features, or how they could make things worse, not better, for accessibility. And even if they do notice them, some of them seem to actively make it more inaccessible.” (16 likes)
 — Emily Lawes

 

“Do y'all plan to get Figma Sites to the point where it can produce semantic HTML and provide a way to provide accessible names to icon buttons and images? [...]  I hope that as you iterate on this product you ensure the folks paying to use it are set up for success.” (16 likes)
 — shkeating

 

3. Rollout Access Clarity

Many of you were excited to try Sites but weren’t sure why the feature wasn’t available yet — especially those on paid plans. Questions about seat types, timing, and how to actually find Sites in the UI came up frequently.

 

“Just upgraded my account to try Figma Sites. Have a full seat on Pro. See no access to Figma Sites anywhere... any ideas?” (3 likes)
 — matt abrams

 

 

What we're doing with this feedback

We’ve shared your input directly with the teams working on Figma Sites and are actively tracking themes that surfaced most frequently, and — in a few cases, updates are already underway.

Here’s where some of that feedback stands now:

  • Accessibility: A substantial portion of your feedback emphasized semantic HTML and assistive tech compatibility. We support tagging today, and are exploring how to improve semantic structure across blocks, including default behaviors that impact screen readers. Keep an eye on this Figma Sites article — Improve the accessibility of your site — we’ll continue updating it with fresh resources and guidance as they become available. More to come soon!
     
  • Export & CMS Support: Code export  and CMS integrations are top-of-mind. While not available yet, these areas are being explored for future roadmap considerations — especially as more teams request publishing flexibility.
     
  • Font Fidelity & Customization: Good news — custom fonts support is coming soon. We’ve heard your reports on Google Fonts and variable text rendering inconsistencies. These issues are under investigation, and we’re reviewing how font handling can better match your design file expectations.
     
  • Nested Pages & URL Structure: This is a frequently requested improvement, and we’re gathering examples to explore solutions that support scalable site architecture. Most recently, we announced updates to apex domain support. Learn more here: Apex domains and custom subdomains in Figma Sites.
     
  • Component Behavior & Breakpoints: Multiple users noted differences between Figma Design and Sites when it comes to variables, auto layout, and component states. We’re reviewing this feedback to smooth out those inconsistencies and make responsive behavior more predictable and performant. For more details and latest updates, keep an eye on this article: Create a responsive component that automatically adapts to each breakpoint.

💡We’ll continue to update release notes and relevant forum threads as improvements go live. Keep an eye out at: Figma product news & release notes.

 

What’s next — want to keep the conversation going?

 

🎟️ Save your seat! Be sure to RSVP for our upcoming release notes LIVE on July 31, 2025 at 8:00AM PT / 11:00AM ET / 5:00PM CET: Live from Figma, it’s Release Notes! → Register.

hello. I am an engineer developing a design system at a company called Karrot (daangn.com) in Korea. I went to SF this time and saw Config, and I have high expectations for the new features.

For accessibility, I will move on because many people have already raised issues above, and Figma needs to upgrade the Interaction tab.

 

1. Motion Variables

It's great to be able to set custom beziers and custom springs, but we need the ability to manage these custom values at the team level.

It would be nice to be able to create and apply Variables to values like Duration, Bezier, etc.

I've been thinking about this before, but with Figma Sites, I feel like it's even more important.

 

2. Need the ability to manage Custom Bezier, Custom Spring

It's nice to be able to apply custom transitions for each element.

But that's about it. It doesn't seem to be possible to copy or clone custom transitions yet. I would like to be able to create custom transitions like Smooth Reveal and Expressive Reveal and share them as a team.

 

Custom, but individual

 

I'm very excited about the CMS, Figma Make, and other features that have yet to be released.

Thank you.

Recently while I was about to publish my website, I saw that one of the errors suggested that I must remove auto scroll to particular section within a webpage because it is not supported in Figma Sites. This feature is a must because usually users want to create one pager website.

figma sites are made frankly poorly, as is the figma forum, which apparently no one reads.

the division of files into specific sites and specific designs is unclear why it was invented at all, synchronization between layouts in different files is unclear how it works, and if there is no synchronization, what's the point of your layouts in figma sites files? Why do you always make a lame horse?

you turn on figma sites, wait six months for a cms update, turn on the cms update, wait six months for a figma make update. What is the point of such updates? to create a design in the current update, knowing that in six months this site will need to be changed to another, because the interaction structure will have already changed? and projects are not done quickly, complex projects take a lot of time, not in order to spend the same amount of time changing the structure in six months.

the projects that you presented last year are still in beta. You have an extremely strange and, in my opinion, completely opaque approach to your updates. The layout has been broken since last year, and you don't fix anything.

A lot of services doesn't mean a lot of good services. Try to do one thing well, so that updates come out on the day of the announcement, and not broken after half a year

I have finally had the opportunity to experiment with the Figma Sites. I am particularly interested in some of its features, such as:

  1.  Loading a custom template to initiate a project
  2.  Implementing breakpoints for specific responsive behaviors

However, my ultimate objective is not to directly create public websites, but rather to generate mockups that can be seamlessly integrated into our framework. Is there any possibility that I will be able to access features like a template library or genuine breakpoints within the default Figma interface?

I’ll agree with others who have wondered WHY embeds seem to have internal padding? If I use the same code to embed a video on Webflow or Framer it’s perfect - fits my layouts exactly as you’d expect. But in Sites it places the video with padding, making the video smaller than other images etc., completely throwing off the design intent. 

How it should line up:

 

Yet smaller when published:

Also, like Framer and Webflow, we very much need a preview of our embed in the editor. Impossible to design correctly without it.

When you set the scroll behaviour of a frame to overflow: horizontal, or overflow: vertical, this only works when ‘clip content’ is switched on. I think this is how the overflow property works in CSS, but it might help to have a warning

I’ve run into 2 issues so far.

  1. Overlay interactions copied over from ‘design’ don’t seem to work properly. ‘Sites’ sees the interaction, but it doesn’t actually work. In my example, clicking a button to open and overlay a frame.

     

  2. A common font I am using ‘Montserrat’ doesn’t show properly when previewed.

I’m super excited about Figma sites and plan to use it extensively. I’ve been doing some testing and have found a few issues I hope that are fixed. The new effects of noise and texture don’t seem to work when previewed and blend modes don’t always work for some reason. Excited for the full release.

Just a suggestion: You may consider adding REAL value to your CORE product (e.g. better prototyping), instead of a range of half-bakes solutions for hobbyists that will never come to full fruition. You are becoming Adobe...

Hi, 

Figma sites sounds like a framer killer, but it’s pretty useless until we get viewport and % sizing.

Keep up the good work guys.
