Project sharing solution used to visually present ideas for different features and makes it possible to create templates
Pros and Cons
  • "The way you can create templates is probably most helpful because it gives us a way to very quickly play around and test ideas and different types of layouts."
  • "One of the areas for improvement is the onboarding experience. When you first starting using Figma, it can be a little confusing. It would be useful to have some guidance and direction."

What is our primary use case?

There are two primary use cases. It is used to be able to visually present ideas for different features with our existing templates that we already have created inside of Figma. We also use it to create clinical prototypes for user testing.

What is most valuable?

The way you can create templates is probably most helpful because it gives us a way to very quickly play around and test ideas and different types of layouts. 

What needs improvement?

One of the areas for improvement is the onboarding experience. When you first starting using Figma, it can be a little confusing. It would be useful to have some guidance and direction. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used this solution for a year and a half.

The ability to add a hover effect is great.

There's a folder system within a project/file.

File sharing is easy.
