Hey folks, I’m kinda on the fence about something. I’ve been making websites for ages (like 10+ years) and never touched Figma. Not even signed up. But I keep hearing buzz about it.
I usually just whip up a design and show it to clients. They tell me what they want changed, and we go from there. It’s always worked fine.
But now I’m wondering… should I bother learning Figma? Will it actually boost my business? I’m cool with how things are going, but if Figma’s a game-changer, I’ll give it a shot.
What do you think? Is Figma worth the time to learn for someone like me? Or am I good sticking to my current method?
I’ve been in the web design game for a while too, and I hear your hesitation about Figma. Here’s my take: it’s not essential, but it can be a valuable addition to your toolkit. The collaborative features are genuinely useful, especially when working with remote clients or larger teams. It streamlines the feedback process and can save time on revisions.
That said, if your current method is working well and clients are satisfied, there’s no urgent need to switch. Figma has a learning curve, and the time investment might not be worth it if you’re already efficient. Perhaps consider experimenting with it on a small project to see if it offers any advantages for your specific workflow.
Ultimately, the decision depends on your business needs and client expectations. If you’re curious, give it a try, but don’t feel pressured to adopt it just because it’s popular.
As someone who’s been in your shoes, I’d say Figma isn’t a must-have, but it’s definitely worth exploring. I was skeptical at first, but after giving it a shot, I found it streamlined my process, especially when working with larger teams or remote clients.
The real game-changer for me was the collaboration features. Clients can leave comments directly on designs, which cuts down on back-and-forth emails. Plus, the ability to create reusable components saved me tons of time on bigger projects.
That said, if your current method is working well and your clients are happy, there’s no urgent need to switch. Maybe set aside a few hours to play around with Figma on a personal project. You might find some features that could enhance your workflow without overhauling your entire process.
Ultimately, it’s about what works best for you and your clients. Figma’s just another tool in the box - useful, but not essential if you’re already delivering great results.
figma’s neat, but if ur workflow’s solid, don’t sweat it. i resisted for ages but gave in. it’s cool for collab stuff, but not life-changing. if clients r happy and ur making $$$, stick to what works. maybe play w/ it in spare time if curious?
