How to set up your Pages in Figma | Figma Blog
Figma Pages can organize design files in ways that match a team’s product, process, or design-system needs. The article emphasizes that there is no single ideal workflow; Pages provide flexible separation for responsive designs, app features, process stages, and atomic design components.
Platform or Screen Size
- Create separate Pages for Android, iOS, desktop, or other responsive breakpoints.
- Use frame presets and constraints to build platform-specific layouts.
- Each Page can contain its own prototype, making platform-specific user testing easier.
App Feature
- Organize Pages around major product areas such as profiles, home screens, or other features.
- Designers can work independently while still referencing the broader product.
- Separate prototypes allow teams to test individual feature flows.
Design Process Stage
- Use Pages to show progress and distinguish exploratory work from finalized designs.
- Possible structures include:
- Thumbnail, wireframes, designs, and archive
- Documentation, staging, and ready for review
- Sitemap, wireframes, mockups, QA, and marketing screenshots
- A “Done” Page helps developers identify which designs are ready to build.
- Early ideation and brainstorming can remain separate from polished work.
Atomic Design Method
- Dedicate Pages to atomic design levels:
- Atoms, such as typography and icons
- Molecules, such as buttons
- Organisms, such as complete pages
- Consistent Page naming improves Team Library search.
- Components can use simpler names like “selected” or “hovered,” since their Page already identifies them as buttons or other component types.
Ultimately, teams should choose a Page structure that reflects how they design and collaborate, rather than follow a universal template.
