Returning back to Relume after being an early adopter. A lot has changed... for the better! Super stoked and I love where everything is headed. However, I need a little bit of help. I'm a pretty good self-starter when I have a good step-by-step walk-through video. I checked out a few, one from the webflow team where Adam got on as an intro, one from the Flux team, and a few others. They all seem to not be from end-to-end or with outdated material. I was hoping there was an end-to-end walk-through video with the most recent version of everything.
John welcome back! Have you had a chance to check out relume.io/resources yet?
Yeah, I checked that out. I'll go through it again. I think my main question right now is, do I have to even import in the Figma at all or can I just work straight out of webflow?
Can I just use Ralume and Webflow directly, with the Chrome extension and Webflow app
might as well get in the habit of that anyway.....
I love Figma. I would love to put it in the process. What I was hoping, and I'm not sure if this is possible yet, is that everything syncs together - The Ralume Wireframe, Figma, and Webflow project. But my assumption is I have to maintain all three of those and keep them up to date. Is this accurate??
yeah I would say for the most part thats accurate. One minor tweak to the mindset - at least for today - is that once I've exported to Figma, I really no longer care too much about whats going on in Site Builder when it comes to minor things. So I don't really keep it updated. However the more updated you do keep it, the cleaner your Webflow export will be.
For me, the step from Figma to Webflow is one that I just treat Figma as my new source of truth - so adding or removing elements in Webflow or what not, is not a big deal - what does trip me up is if I have swapped out an entire component in the design process - going back and making sure to do the same in site builder so that when I do import into Webflow, its being accounted for. Not the end of the world though as again, your Figma file becomes the source of truth and its easy enough to reference what layout I am using in the design, and grabbing that same layout via the chrome extension in Webflow.
I appreciate what you're saying, my brain definitely gets in the way sometimes. I've always been a designer right inside a webflow kind of person, maybe my approach is all wrong and why I have messy projects 馃ぃ
If I delete all the pages but the Style Guide in the Figma Kit, is that okay. Was going to try to use other pages for the wireframe unless it's best to stick it on the same page as the style guide
Sorry I'm not in front of my computer, so I'm kind of going from memory on everything
gosh yeah, I've tried so many times to design right in Webflow - as least with clients, its never panned out well for me. Tried and true over the course of 100+ websites:
Sitemap
Client Approval
Wireframes
Client Approval
Stylescapes
Client Approval
Homepage Design
Client Approval
Interior Pages - Design
Client Approval
Development
oh yeah, you can delete the welcome and thumbnail pages, by yeah keep the style guide page
I actually customize the figma kit to include a series of new pages
