From Figma to a live site with ZORALI

Design in Figma, ship on the web. A practical workflow for turning Figma designs into published ZORALI sites, no magic import, just a fast, honest rebuild.

A practical handoff, not a magic import

Let's be direct: ZORALI does not do a one-click Figma import, and most tools that claim one produce markup you'll rewrite anyway. The faster path is a deliberate rebuild on ZORALI's freeform canvas, using your Figma file as the source of truth for layout, type, color, and spacing. Because the canvas is freeform, not a rigid grid, faithful recreations take hours, not days.

  • Use your Figma file as the pixel reference for the rebuild
  • Freeform canvas means faithful layout recreation without grid fights
  • Rebuild page by page, section by section, against the design
  • No generated-code cleanup, you build it clean the first time

Recreate layouts on the freeform canvas

ZORALI's canvas lets you place elements exactly where your design puts them, which is what makes Figma-to-ZORALI work so well. Map Figma frames to page sections, auto-layout stacks to ZORALI's layout elements, and components to reusable patterns you rebuild once and duplicate. With 38+ elements at your disposal, most designs translate directly.

  • Absolute positioning matches Figma's free placement model
  • 38+ elements cover navs, heroes, cards, forms, galleries, and more
  • Rebuild repeating components once, then duplicate across pages
  • Responsive behavior tuned visually at each breakpoint

Match your design tokens

Consistency comes from tokens, not eyeballing. Pull your Figma styles, type scale, color palette, spacing rhythm, corner radii, and set them as your site's defaults in ZORALI before you build. When the tokens match, every section you rebuild inherits the design's discipline automatically.

  • Set site-wide fonts, colors, and styles before building sections
  • Translate Figma text styles into reusable typography settings
  • Keep spacing consistent with a shared rhythm from the design
  • Custom code embeds for any effect the visual tools can't express

Handle the tricky parts with custom code

Some Figma designs include interactions, animations, or components that no visual builder covers natively, marquees, custom cursors, scroll-driven effects, embedded widgets. That's what ZORALI's custom code blocks and embeds are for: implement the hard 10% in code, keep the easy 90% visual, and ship the whole thing as one site.

  • Custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript embeds for bespoke interactions
  • Third-party scripts and widgets drop straight into pages
  • Mix coded components with visual sections on one canvas
  • Preview the full page, code and canvas together, before publishing

Publish on your own domain

When the rebuild matches the design, publishing takes minutes. ZORALI includes multi-site hosting, custom domains are supported on paid plans, and the BUILD → CUSTOMIZE → MANAGE → MARKET → PUBLISH flow means the design you shipped stays editable. Client asks for a change next month? Open the canvas, don't reopen the Figma file.

  • Publish from the canvas with multi-site hosting included
  • Custom domains supported on Pro ($19/mo) and Business ($49/mo)
  • Sites stay editable, future changes happen in ZORALI, not Figma
  • AI Studio can generate the first draft of a page from a description

Frequently asked questions

→Can ZORALI import my Figma file directly?

No | ZORALI doesn't offer a one-click Figma import. The recommended workflow is rebuilding your design on the freeform canvas with the Figma file as reference, which is fast because the canvas supports free placement, and avoids the messy generated code that auto-importers produce.

→How long does a Figma-to-ZORALI rebuild take?

It depends on the design's complexity, but most marketing pages and portfolio sites rebuild in hours rather than days, because the freeform canvas maps closely to how Figma lays things out. Reusable components and matched design tokens speed it up further.

→What about custom animations from my Figma prototype?

Standard animations and interactions can be configured visually in ZORALI. For bespoke effects from a Figma prototype, scroll-driven motion, custom cursors, marquees, use custom code blocks and embeds with your own HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

→Can I keep designing in Figma after the site is live?

You can, but you usually won't need to. Once the site is rebuilt in ZORALI it stays fully editable on the canvas, so routine changes, copy, images, sections, happen directly in ZORALI without round-tripping through Figma.

→Does the rebuilt site stay responsive?

Yes. You tune responsive behavior visually at each breakpoint on the canvas, so the published site adapts cleanly to different screen sizes.

→What does it cost to publish the finished site?

Building and previewing are free on the Starter plan. Publishing requires Pro ($19/mo) or Business ($49/mo), both of which include hosting and support custom domains.
