I’m sure you know about Figma, a UI/UX designing software where people create layouts for their websites or software before the actual development. However, turning Figma to WordPress sites can be a challenge for beginners.
WordPress CMS can be a no-brainer to help you transform your Figma design into a functional WordPress site.
There are three ways a Figma to WordPress website can be built with little to no effort:
Yes, that’s true whether you know coding or not. Converting a Figma design to a WordPress site can be an easy and time-saving method if you follow along with this FREE tutorial.
By the way, I have a free guide on how to start a blog or design your website in WordPress. You can follow the tutorial there to learn and build a great WordPress website, just like your Figma design.

Now you know, the other two methods can be challenging if you don’t know how to code or expensive if you hire a freelancer to code everything, as compared to WordPress drag-and-drop builders.
That’s why the ELEMENTOR plugin and several other page builder plugins can be used to design the exact same website in WordPress, just like your Figma design.
However, it also requires you to have a great understanding of website designing and development in WordPress, but it’s cost-effective even if you hire someone.
Don’t worry, I will share everything you need to learn to build a great website from your Figma design in WordPress.
Building a WordPress website from your Figma design requires you to purchase some tools and install necessary components to start the design process.
To your surprise, most of these tools are free, and web hosting for your website can cost as low as $3 per month to set up and build a Figma to WordPress website.
Here are 10 WordPress plugins you can try to build your website:
All of these plugins are 100% free, and all you need to build your WordPress website is web hosting, which costs $3 per month for basic and $15 for premium.
However, if you want to create forms on your WordPress website, you can try plugins like Ninja Forms, WPForms, and similar form builders.
There are also many other free extensions available for WordPress Elementor plugins that can add numerous great features to simplify your transformation from Figma to WordPress.
Fortunately, you have the option to turn your Figma design into an HTML static website and host it online, but it comes with many disadvantages, which is why WordPress is the most favored platform to choose from.
Up to this point, you know Figma is excellent for creating stunning website or software designs. However, to create a fully functional website or software, you’ll need to either code it or build it on WordPress.
Now, let’s explore the step-by-step guide to build a website from your Figma design into WordPress. I have already shared all the necessary tools, plugins, and themes you need to build your website above.
Now, follow these steps:
Great! Now you know how to build a stunning website like your Figma design in WordPress.
However, I’m not finished here. If you are a beginner, you may not know how to navigate WordPress and Elementor, and that’s where this video tutorial can be of assistance.
Now, you don’t have to struggle.
I’m sure you have purchased the hosting server and installed WordPress following my free guide here. It’s time to design your WordPress website based on your Figma design.
Basically, whether it’s for a blog website or any other type of website, the process remains the same from WordPress installation onward, following the steps outlined in my guide.
The purpose and design of your website may vary depending on your goals, but the process I’ve shared in my post here will remain consistent, even if you want to transition from Figma to WordPress.

Surprisingly, if you’ve learned Figma to WordPress, you’ve also learned PSD to WordPress website designing because there’s no significant difference.
Both Figma and Adobe XD are UI/UX design tools, and the output from Figma is often in PSD format, just like Adobe XD, unless you export it in another format.
So, if you have your PSD file, you can easily design your website in WordPress following the same guide provided above.
It’s no wonder that the PSD to WordPress process is the same; PSD is generally associated with Adobe tools, and Figma has also been acquired by Adobe to complement and support each other.
When you already have hosting, a WordPress website, or if you prefer to go through the entire process of purchasing domains, configuring hosting, ensuring security, and managing your site daily, and all you need is a WordPress theme, you can also effortlessly convert your Figma designs into themes with just a few clicks!
Figma to WordPress is an affordable plugin (addon) extension for Figma, allowing you to effortlessly transform your Figma designs into WordPress themes that you can later install on your website.
On the surface, it appears quite promising, with no coding, no designing, and no hassle involved. However, it does come with a cost to make this possible.
Apart from the hosting expenses, you will need to pay a monthly fee to the plugin developer for smooth operation of your website. This means you have to cover two separate costs — one for hosting WordPress and another for the Figma to WordPress theme design extension.
That’s why I’ve guided you through a step-by-step, free method to create a Figma to WordPress website, where you only need to bear the hosting server cost.
As a WordPress designer/developer, I consider myself fortunate to have collaborated with over 200+ clients worldwide and built several stunning websites.
I understand that creating a great website can significantly boost conversion rates, enhance brand recognition, and ultimately result in a profitable approach for your business.
However, finding the right talent can be a challenge, and that’s where my free guide can be of assistance.
For businesses and solo entrepreneurs, outsourcing their Figma design to build WordPress websites can save them time, allowing them to focus on more critical tasks. Additionally, outsourcing is often more cost-effective than doing it themselves.
Let’s say, for instance, you earn $30/hr and $150 daily. If you attempt it as a beginner, it may take you 20 to 80 hours or even more, translating to earnings of $500 to $5000. Conversely, a freelancer in other countries can provide the same services at half the price or even less.
You’re likely aware of the pricing disparities between different countries. For example, if you hire me in India, I can work for 80 hours at a cost of $800 to $1000, given the lower cost of living and other expenses here.
You have various options to hire a freelancer, including:
Now, I’m confident that if you want to build a Figma to WordPress website, you have all the necessary information you need, whether it’s about whom to hire or how to do it yourself.
Building a WordPress website from your Figma design can be a great way to save a significant amount of money compared to hiring someone to create a website from scratch and invest countless hours in coding to meet your expectations.
Certainly, you can’t develop an extensive software solution in WordPress based solely on a Figma design. It’s primarily intended for premium websites based on Figma designs.
Whether you prefer to design it yourself in WordPress or hire a freelancer, Figma to WordPress website designing is always a more affordable option in comparison.
