So Figma Sites just dropped recently and I’m wondering what everyone thinks about it. The new feature lets you create and deploy responsive sites right inside Figma without needing to export anything or use external plugins.
I’m trying to figure out if this is worth considering as a replacement for Webflow. Has anyone tried it yet? Does it seem like real competition?
From my perspective, it could be pretty game-changing for designers who want everything in one place. Would love to get some opinions from the community on this.
I’ve been testing Figma Sites for about a week now and honestly, calling it a Webflow alternative feels premature. The deployment process is seamless which is great, but the functionality is quite limited compared to what you get with Webflow’s interactions, CMS capabilities, and advanced responsive controls. Figma Sites works well for simple landing pages and prototypes that need to go live quickly, but anything requiring complex animations, database connections, or e-commerce features still needs a proper web development platform. The real advantage I see is for design teams who want to showcase concepts to stakeholders without the back-and-forth of exporting assets. For now, I’m viewing it more as a enhanced prototyping tool rather than a serious website builder. The integration with existing Figma workflows is solid though, so it might evolve into something more robust over time.
tried it yesterday and its pretty cool but def not webflow level yet. the responsiveness works ok but you cant do much customization beyond basic stuff. good for quick mockups tho, especially if your already deep in figma ecosystem
Been working with both platforms for client projects and the comparison really depends on your use case. Figma Sites shines when you need to bridge that gap between design handoff and actual implementation - something that has always been painful with traditional workflows. The ability to make design changes and see them reflected immediately on the live site without developer intervention is genuinely useful for iterative design processes. However, the technical limitations become apparent quickly when clients start asking for custom forms, third-party integrations, or SEO optimizations. Webflow still dominates in these areas with its robust CMS and extensive customization options. What I find interesting is that Figma Sites might actually complement Webflow rather than replace it - using Figma for rapid prototyping and client approval, then migrating to Webflow for production sites that need more functionality. The pricing model will ultimately determine adoption rates, especially for agencies managing multiple client sites.
