I tried using the iPad for Web Design

Using an iPad as my primary device for web design wasn't something I thought possible in the past, but I wanted to see if it is now in 2023. You can use a tablet as a website design device in many different ways, including things like UI and UX apps such as Figma and Wix Studio.
Since I have a computer, laptop and tablet for website designing, I found designing different for each device, especially when considering UI, UX and Components Design.

Will the iPad Silently Rise to Rule Web Design and No Code

[@CreativeCrewCommunity]

Awesome video, Adrian. Love the format!

[@CodexCommunity]

Awesome, thank you!

[@SamDiazProducer]

Excellent video, as a product designer I’ve often wondered how it would be editing in Figma on the iPad but this video pretty much reassures what I initially suspected. Thank you for your insights and hopefully they do make more updates to the iPad for designers.

[@CodexCommunity]

I wonder if it would be the same on Samsung Tablets

[@cesarv.6365]

Awesome video. I was wondering about the capabilities of an ipad to design and built a website. Great insight. 👍🏽

[@CodexCommunity]

Glad it was helpful!

[@linovin_5954]

glad i came to this video before buying an ipad for my web design

[@soupornomukherjee1985]

Figurative is the best option to use if a right now

[@TheBryhanS]

hello, its awesome your expirience with your ipad, you tried to used with a monitor, can ipad with m1 chip handle a second display?

[@duffyrides]

Great video. I have the iPad Pro and have been struggling with editing on Squarespace the past couple days also. Selecting boxes or elements can be hit or miss or just completely unresponsive. I thought it may have been Squarespace issue but then I tried on my Dell laptop and it was smooth as butter. So yes I agree with you , for some reason the iPad is just not quite ready to handle this task full time.

[@ioanasabau9578]

The same problem, I have on wix .

[@dotpenji]

Your hands-on approach to testing the iPad's potential for web design is impressive. What specific improvements or features do you think are needed to make the iPad an ideal tool for web development?

[@DenverOrtiz]

Great content, Love this!

[@motivatedbeastph]

This video is truly exceptional, and I want to express my profound gratitude to you!

[@JeromeC-wp2vr]

This video showcasing the iPad's journey in web design and development was truly intriguing. Their firsthand experiences, especially with accessories and software limitations, shed light on the iPad's potential as a work device. Thanks for sharing this insightful journey.

[@CyrineTuazon]

This is fascinating!

[@CodexCommunity]

Thanks for the question, I think if ipad's had a real 'OS mode' that would allow them to treat websites like Computers, rather than touch devices, maybe they would be more flexible, since their iPad mode locks their functionality

[@chandanam7369]

Thanks man you cleared my confusion i pad cant replace desktop.

[@rapha-ux]

Hi Codex. I'm thinking about to buy and iPad Pro for working with Figma (I have a Macbook Air M1 today). My only problem is the personalized fonts for some project. So I'm between the Galaxy Book 360 with Windows 11 or the iPad Pro with M2 which supports the Stage Manager. What do you think is a better option? Did you try the Stage Manager? If it yes, how was the experience with Figma Web or Figurative? Useless information: If I can say this way "my dream" is to have a one device for everything, where I can use on my desktop table in office, unplug and watch a movie on the sofa of playing some games in the bed. So I really want to retire my MacBook and have only an iPad.

[@adrianamantillarincon7744]

Unfortunately ipad still are not that friendly with keyboard commands, I'm specially frustrated with the command "move front" and "move back" and the hand (because i use the space bar instead the "H" ) Also, the fonts availability are something also to considering in the case that you have been thinking on just having an IPAD to designs because the offer is limited, or does anyone know any fonts manager for ipad users? It could be so helpful! Anyway, thank you for your video I'm currently in the same mode, so I'm just trying to use only the Ipad hahahaha

[@iamchetanprajapati]

Hi, Can you do right click features?

[@luanmaia]

As someone trying this for years. ( since 1st iPad Pro ) I can work fully on the iPad if needed but I would not recommend either. For drawing I would but anything Figma or photoshop I think is just worst than laptop/computer and have no real benefit ( iPad + keyboard + mouse is heavier as you mentioned ). Maybe in a couple years as now we have the power, the screen, the keyboard we are lacking lightness, easy to use and Figma proper software for iPad =)

[@syberpunk]

No test at trying out a code editor witth HTML/CSS??

[@acceleratorgg1]

Which version of ipad supports figma? and Does ipad runs Adobe apps like photoshop , illustrator?

[@MLM7827]

Does figma support custom fonts on iPad? I assume its basically like mac.

[@yellowboat8773]

Oh snap your in Vic Park, thought I recognised that cafe!

[@CodexCommunity]

Correct!

[@j.espinosa]

What ipad you have?

[@KylePrinsloo]

For now, I prefer using my laptop, but who knows next year :) also a big fan of the logitech mouse!

[@CodexCommunity]

Thanks Kyle!

[@matheusrsr]

What is the size of your iPad?

[@Jawaeye-qh3td]

I opened it in Safari and the interface does not appear as in the video It has limited possibilities It does not appear to me as it appears to

[@latvijasruna2719]

I can’t edit my wp website with elementor this sucks any suggestions?

[@allstudio459]

Thanks for the insight,

[@mihaibalan1917]

useful video. what ipad is that?

[@CodexCommunity]

Thats the iPad 12 inch M1

[@mashy9241]

Tried Figma on my new IPads Pro 12’9 and Figma freezes all the time, so I’m not sure it could be comfortable for work. Also the hover functions don’t work and mobile version only works in the show mode

[@joselucnico]

App = Figurative

[@TiffanyNg100]

How do you even copy and paste on Figma iPad website? Without the keyboard?

[@CodexCommunity]

Long click!

[@studyuniverse621]

Hello bro please reply... I am a student and currently planning to buy ipad air 5 m1 for note making and mainly for ui designing. Will ipad be a best choice for me for next 5 years??? Please reply...............

[@chengpeng7394]

buy a macbook pro

[@BetheMyth878]

How to delete without mouse and keyboard or undo and redo

[@CodexCommunity]

long click, or file menu

[@LegendaryLord_]

I try to use figma on ipad and android tablet and don’t work, I just can use it as a mirror or something like that.

[@CodexCommunity]

Try on desktop mode in the browser

[@ms7833]

So you can connect a mouse !? Woooow...mindblowing game changer!!!

[@joselucnico]

Not the good mouse.

[@teamrlvnt]

How do we undo and use other commands?

[@joselucnico]

Command + Z

[@Cameraville]

You said you couldn’t use figma, and now you can.. why - how? You said nothing of this. What are you trying to say - it just works now? For what reason? Who improved what to make it work?

[@dannyboycalifornia]

It’s on the internet browser

[@Cameraville]

I have not seen any in-broswer design that works on iPad. Mailchimp, square space, etc.. anything drag and drop design have limited or 0 functionality on the iPad.@@dannyboycalifornia

[@christianjtorres]

Go google it yourself sucker

[@kethanreddy-oe9tc]

Can I do coding in iPad

[@joselucnico]

Yep, you can find a ton of apps for coding. I use Textastic.

[@kayylanan9769]

How about font syncing for figma? Im planning to have ipad instead laptop 😅

[@adrianamantillarincon7744]

I have a Windows PC and an IPAD, you can add or edit the fonts on your Figma desktop app and then open on your ipad, but don't have that variety of font options to design from 0 fron your ipad

[@jeoffreystar6255]

Web Designer with Wix.. and you dont get the max out of the ipad. Check other Videos what you can do with an ipad as a laptop replacement

[@BogdanSzczurek]

Buy an iPad-turn it into a laptop anyway to make it useful 🤣🤣🤣 (Yes, I know it's an exaggeration, but not by much 😊)

[@pedroquerido2268]

Totally pointless. If I have to use an app (Figma web in this case) which is not optimized for touch devices, and I will need a keyboard and an mouse, there’s no point on spending that much money on an iPad if you can do the same, and more, even on a MBA. It just makes no sense. It would be different if Figma had a dedicated iOS app.

[@tinydream]

Wix?! 🤮
