Today we are living and heading towards a world that consists of virtual offices. We as a UI UX design firm believe this is the beginning of the revolution of trends where the virtual world has gotten even better. With the designers working remotely, Figma acted as a saviour, which helped the designers to collaborate and work more efficiently.

This is not where the benefits stop. Figma allows you to check, correct course and save you from getting exhausted while working on the same design, countless times. Now that Figma is the talk of our day, here are the 8 reasons to consider Figma as your go-to software

  1. Collaborate with your team-mates

If we talk about the major cons of working remotely, then not being able to coordinate with your teammates is always at the top of the list, but this is where Figma acts as a bridge. It helps designers to work on a live file. Yes, we mean exactly what you are thinking. All your teammates can watch you working (Yes, we often call it spying too) and not only this, every user has their name on it. It works similar to the collaborating documents that you prepare on Google docs.

2. It is flexible and can be easily understood

Figma is a cherry on top for the UI UX design agency, especially in the pandemic era. Figma can help you to design without any complications and export files for animation and prototyping. Even a mobile app can manage the quality easily. It has all the features that a designer requires to deliver exceptional results.

3. Free and accessible

Figma is free and the designs are accessible to all kinds of people, but this is not what it is limited to. It lives in the browser and works on Windows, Chrome, Mac, and Linux, where it auto-saves all your work. The major thing that we like about Figma is working on a browser. We just need a good internet connection and even if the connection isn’t working, you can still carry on with your work and auto-save it. It has all that a designer needs and has got your back like your good friend.

4. Online tutorials

Imagine that you know nothing about UI UX design services but still want to explore and experiment with your creativity. Now, we would say there is nothing better than learning and watching online tutorials with Figma. It doesn’t matter where you are starting from, Figma can teach you all about components, grids, tools and colours. Tell us something better than learning while implementing it practically, because we know that you can’t come up with anything better than Figma.

5. Design community

Figma works in a very different way and it involves working in a community with creative minds that are full of years of experience. These communities create plugins for designers which can be used and altered according to the requirements. These plugins can vary from a huge library of wallpapers to icons. You say it and you have it, within a click!

6. Use of components

In comparison, the components in it are easier and more flexible to use. Here, all the elements can be changed independently. This is what makes it different from a sketch where components are also known as symbols.

7. Slack integration

Figma has a slack integration where all the notifications from it can be directly viewed on slack. This helps designers to catch up with everything in just one place. So now say no to all the distractions because, in just one snap, Figma can bring your work mode back!

8. Brainstorming on whiteboards

This one is interesting for all those people who seek to brainstorm together and have refreshing sessions while working. We know that this is catching your interest. FigJam is an online whiteboard that is used by designers to brainstorm and make strategies together. Not to mention how it is a great tool for your presentations.

Conclusion

Yes, so reading all the above points will surely give you a kick to use Figma for all your upcoming projects and if you are new, then it’s a thumbs up from us because even our design team cannot resist working on it. From exploring its new tools to learning more about it, we have come up Indie that matches with our exceptional results and memorable user experience.

It’s time to try it out on your own!
