This was a solid beginner course. It covered the basics. This was fun and I like how simple Figma is. Thank you for your time of gathering all the resources and putting this together.

WE NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THESEEEEE

[@rameenana]

Thanks for this, sister. You we’re going at a good pace, explained well, and most importantly didn’t waste time by talking irrelevant stuff. Appreciate your work.

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks for the feedback and kind words 🙏❤️

[@salentipy]

This is very well-done! I'll definitely be looking into more of her videos.

[@leephom5499]

Youre so talented wow!

[@petrusmiguel776]

THANKYOU MADDIE! YOUR MY FAVORITE ❣❣❣

[@FluxAcademy]

We like her too! 😊

[@dunkley7776]

This was excellent! Thank you all involved!

[@FluxAcademy]

Our pleasure!

[@breynerjimeneznoy]

Thanks a lot. This is great for someone who's just getting started with Figma. I loved how you made each element look clean and aligned.

[@FluxAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@justbrandy3047]

This video was extremely helpful for me!

[@Michelle-tx1gc]

Maddy is such a talented designer and comprehensive teacher. I hope flux academy works with her more often to create cool, modern designs like this rather than standard/less stylish design tutorials. Thanks for this!

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks Michelle

[@Royh224]

Question on timestamp: 10:51, do you recommend using frames instead of sections? Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@tijana5650]

By far the best channel for learning 😍

[@FluxAcademy]

Thank you 🙏

[@cleanpagedesign543]

This is a great tutorial, especially how you use the frames and the auto layout. One thing I found really frustrating, though, is how you add the image backgrounds to frames. You have them stored on your computer so you can select them in the finder to replace the glasses images in the product cards. I can't get the images that are on the artboard to replace the images in the product cards. Is there a way to do this, or do you need to have the images stored locally so you can get them via your finder?

[@gamadataffa5327]

Thanks very educative

[@FluxAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DesignGenie-cv1cn]

I really love this tutorial and already planning on buying her web design ecommerce course. Will maddie be doing any UX/UI tutorials? Would love to learn how she lays everything out for a mobile app and hopefully with case studies.

[@FluxAcademy]

Glad you enjoyed! Just a note, Maddy's course focuses on Figma for Web Designers; not e-commerce or UX/UI from a product design perspective.

[@DesignGenie-cv1cn]

@@FluxAcademy I know i bought the course and loving it. Im doing the certificate for the course now. I was just saying maybe in the future she maybe could make one because i like how she breaks everything down.

[@FluxAcademy]

@@DesignGenie-cv1cn ah, got it. Glad to hear you're enjoying the course!

[@kasper369]

How much would you charge for such work? curious

[@1970efrat]

THANK YOU !!!

[@FluxAcademy]

You're welcome!

[@tobiaslehning]

Hi from Sweden! Just a curious question... Why do you use a navigation -menu AND a hamburger menu? I thought webpages should use a navbar and when resize to mobile it will turn into the hamburger-menu?

[@FluxAcademy]

Hi Tobias 👋, Although we have seen people use both on Desktop, you are correct; the convention is as you describe.

[@nocomplyyy]

finished it, finally im ready to become a ui/ux designer

[@chinedunwafor3793]

Pls how did you get the starting files i cant find it

[@chinedunwafor3793]

Please how can i get the starting files i really want to follow along already clicked on the help, also wrote my email address but have not gotten any feed back

[@mae2309]

where do you published your figma work? are you using any of the no code apps such ass webflow, framer or even wix studio? am wondering. thank you in advanced

[@FluxAcademy]

yes! you develop the page using Webflow or Framer, we'll have a followup video showing you how to develop this design

[@denzel1521]

loved every moment of this! followed every step but instead of using white for the icons I used the orange from the images and removed the hamburger icon

[@FluxAcademy]

Love to hear! Thanks Denzel

[@justinernest2363]

So once the design is done do you use this as a blueprint for how you code the html/css? Or is there another way that is done on how the web page is actually made?

[@FluxAcademy]

Yes. Figma is used for the "design" phase. Then a website needs to be "developed."

[@lakshmiunnikrishnan3982]

the link for the starter file is not working for me

[@mattjohnson3058]

I made it so far until I hit the auto frame on the card. I can't get it to align the two text items below the product name. Instead it jumps one onto the same line as the product name. (26:27) 🥴

[@jozama6848]

it would be great if you could export it to webflow and publish/deploy it ... kind of making the "end to end" process more transparent,

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks for that feedback!

[@jozama6848]

@@FluxAcademy oh thank you for answering me :D ! of course once designed, do the process of how to connect a domain and publish the site; in the course you offer, do you have those processes ?

[@FluxAcademy]

Have a look at our "Learn Web Design For Beginners" video that was published recently.

[@jessicaladd85]

Total newb here. How do I make sure I can click on each "layer" in a section, without actually using the layers panel? It must be a setting of some kind and I cannot figure it out. TIA!!!

Figma is a design tool. Figjam is an online whiteboard. Figma offers a free plan, and professionals pay for their tools like any other job!

I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations for website themes or builders that excel in aesthetics and usability, specifically catering to affiliate marketing goals.
