Your Figma file, in WordPress — without the surprises
You're a designer. You've shipped the Figma file. Your client loves it. Then the developer takes three weeks, comes back with something that's "close to the design," and now you're in six rounds of revisions over spacing, font weights, and the wrong shade of grey.
I build Figma files into WordPress exactly as designed. Pixel-accurate, responsive, and ready for your client to edit after handover. Most builds come back with zero to two revision requests — not twenty.
How I work
- You send the Figma file. All artboards, all pages, all states. I review it within 24 hours and flag anything that's missing or unclear.
- I quote. Fixed price based on the number of unique page templates and components. You see the breakdown before signing.
- I build. Elementor Pro or custom theme — your call, depending on what the client needs to edit later. You see staging progress every 2-3 days.
- You review. Live staging URL. You check it against the Figma file side-by-side. If something's off, I fix it.
- Ship + handover. Site goes live. You get a Loom walkthrough and a written guide for any custom blocks I built.
What I need from you
- The Figma file — desktop, tablet, and mobile artboards for every page template
- Design tokens — colors, typography, spacing, or the styles panel exported
- Asset exports — images at the right sizes, optimized SVG icons, video files if used
- Component states — hover, focus, active, disabled for any interactive elements
- Copy — final copy in the Figma file (not "lorem ipsum"), or a separate doc
What you get back
- A live WordPress site that matches the Figma file, desktop and mobile
- Elementor Pro or custom theme — your client's content team can edit pages after handover
- Clean, semantic HTML/CSS so the site loads fast (90+ Lighthouse score target)
- On-page SEO foundations: schema markup, meta tags, sitemap, image alt text
- 30-minute Loom walkthrough showing the client how to edit common things
- 30 days of free fixes after launch for anything I missed
Elementor vs custom theme
Most clients want to edit their own pages after the build — swap a hero image, change copy, add a new section. That's the case for Elementor Pro. The whole site becomes editable through a familiar block-based interface.
If the client wants a more locked-down build (where they only edit blog posts and pages, never the homepage or landing pages), I'll do a custom theme with ACF. More work upfront, less risk of the client accidentally breaking the layout later.
I'll recommend one or the other based on the design and how the client wants to work after launch.
What it costs
Pricing depends on the number of unique page templates and how custom the design is. A typical 6-10 page marketing site from Figma lands between $2,500 and $6,000. Larger builds or ecommerce projects are quoted separately.
I also offer hourly work at $50 CAD if you'd rather scope the project yourself and only need me for specific pages or fixes.
Who I work with
I work mostly with freelance designers and small Toronto design studios. You're either too busy to do the build yourself, or you don't have an in-house developer. Either way, you stay the designer of record — I just handle the build.
I don't take on agency overflow projects that need to be done yesterday with no documentation. If your design file is clean and you've thought through the states, I'm your builder. If not, I'll tell you upfront what's missing before I quote.
Common questions
Can my client edit the site after launch?
Yes — that's the whole point of using Elementor. Pages become block-based and your client can edit copy, images, and sections without touching code. I'll show them how in the handover walkthrough.
Do you build with Bricks or GeneratePress instead of Elementor?
Yes. I work in Elementor Pro, Bricks, and GeneratePress. If your client's house style uses a specific builder, I'll match it.
What if the Figma file is incomplete?
I'll flag it within 24 hours. Things like missing mobile breakpoints, no hover states, or lorem-ipsum copy — I'll list exactly what's missing before I quote. You won't get surprised mid-project.
How fast can you turn around a build?
Most 6-10 page marketing sites take 2-3 weeks from Figma to live. Larger projects are scoped at the quote stage. If you have a hard deadline, mention it upfront and I'll tell you if I can hit it.
