What is it?

Figma is where websites and apps get designed. It is collaborative like a Google Doc, so a founder, a designer and a developer can all be in the same file at once.

Figma Make turns a text prompt or an existing design into a clickable prototype you can test with customers. Its official connection to Claude Code lets a coding assistant read your designs and build them, or write results back to the canvas.

It has a real learning curve. If you only need social posts and flyers, Canva will get you there faster.

Who it's for

Founders and teams designing a website, app or product, or working closely with developers.

  • Website and app design
  • Clickable prototypes
  • Handing designs to developers
  • Design systems and brand assets

Why it made the list

It is the industry standard for product design and the design tool with the strongest bridge into Claude Code.
