Prototype in Figma

Figma Prototype

In this article, we'll explore how to prototype in Figma.

We can develop interactive flows that demonstrate how a user might interact with the designs using Figma's prototyping features. Interactions and user flows can be previewed using prototypes.

Q: How do you optimize a Figma prototype?
Ans:

Recommendations for optimization

1. Make a testing-specific file. Make a copy of your functioning Figma file, then utilise that one to create the testing prototype.
2. Images should be compressed.
3. Keep the number of pages and frames to a minimum.
4. Optimize custom fonts.
5. Utilize screens with frames.

Figma is an excellent tool for quickly prototyping UX/UI ideas. It enables users to construct interactive flows with comprehensive yet simple features straight in the design file.

Design Prototype in Figma

• Create a frame and select the appropriate option from it, such as Phone, Tablet, or Desktop.

• For subsequent screens, duplicate or create a new frame.
• Figma allows you to deep select into each component's nested layers.
• Design the frame to meet your requirements by including plugin icons, navigation buttons, menus, and text, among other things.
• Go the Prototype tab -> select the component -> click the circle and drag it to the next screen -> interaction details will appear for the user to select the navigation details.

• Similarly, we may add navigation details to each component as needed.

• Once the design and navigation are complete, the UI will be tested by clicking on "Present" arrow button.

• We can see the selected view as per the specified device, such as phone. To see all of the screens, navigate through all of the menus.

• We can also share the prototype design with the team by clicking the Share button and entering the information to be shared.
