Optimizing Your Figma Designs for Esprit Code: Best Practices Guide

The day we have been working toward is finally here. Esprit Code is now officially available.

When we published our first blog post, we promised to share all updates exclusively through this blog. True to that promise, we are excited to announce that Esprit Code has launched and is ready for you to use today.

From Announcement to Launch

A few months ago, we introduced Esprit Code as a tool designed to eliminate the most time-consuming step in web production: manually translating a finalized Figma design into HTML and CSS. Since then, we have been refining the conversion engine, stabilizing the platform, and preparing for this moment.

We set out with a clear goal: build a tool that meaningfully accelerates the early phase of web production, and get it into the hands of real users as quickly as possible. We are now at that point.

What You Can Do with Esprit Code Today

The core features described in our previous posts are all live:

1. Connect & Convert

  • Connect your Figma account and instantly access your design files.
  • Select any frame or set of frames for conversion.
  • Review the generated HTML and CSS in the built-in code explorer before exporting.
  • Download clean, structured code ready to use as a prototype or LP foundation.

2. Advanced Design Support

  • Auto Layout → CSS Flexbox conversion
  • Grid Layout → CSS Grid conversion
  • Alpha, Luminance, and Vector mask support
  • Gradient and blend mode preservation
  • Multi-frame export
  • Parallel image processing with real-time progress updates

Pricing

Esprit Code is available on a subscription basis with four plans to match different levels of usage.

Free Plan — $0/month

  • 5 conversions per month
  • No payment information required
  • Ideal for exploring the tool before committing

Starter Plan — $10/month

  • 30 conversions per month
  • Suited for individual designers or directors working on regular projects

Pro Plan — $25/month

  • 100 conversions per month
  • For developers and teams handling consistent production workloads

Power Plan — $100/month

  • 500 conversions per month
  • For high-volume production environments

Note: All paid plans are also available at a 20% discount with annual billing. At this stage, all plans share the same core feature set. The difference is simply in the number of conversions available each month.

Who Should Try It First

Esprit Code is built for web directors, designers, and front-end developers who regularly move designs from Figma into code. If you have ever spent hours on initial HTML markup that could have been generated in seconds, this tool was built for you.

Our initial goal is straightforward: we want a small group of early users to put Esprit Code through its paces with real projects. Your experience and feedback during this early phase will directly shape how the tool evolves.

A Note on What to Expect

We want to be straightforward about what Esprit Code is and is not.

✅ What It Does

  • Generates a solid HTML/CSS foundation from your Figma design
  • Eliminates the repetitive groundwork that consumes hours of development time
  • Produces clean, readable code ready for developer handoff

❌ What It Doesn’t Do

  • Responsive breakpoints beyond the original design dimensions
  • Complex JavaScript interactivity
  • Backend integration or API connections
  • 100% pixel-perfect replication of highly complex web applications

This focused approach means developers receive a solid foundation they can build upon. We believe this honest framing is important — the tool delivers real value within that scope, and we would rather set accurate expectations than overpromise.

Pre-Launch Checklist Before Your First Conversion

Before clicking “Fetch Design & Go to Explorer”, we recommend:

  • Your Figma frames are properly named with CSS-friendly conventions
  • Layout uses Auto Layout or Grid where appropriate
  • Image layers are reasonably sized (under 2MB each when possible)
  • No unnecessary hidden layers are included in your export frames

What Comes Next

We are launching with a focused feature set and a commitment to stability. From here, our roadmap is driven by user feedback. If there are Figma features you need better support for, edge cases you encounter, or workflow improvements you would find valuable, we want to hear from you.

Updates, new features, and any changes to the platform will continue to be announced here on this blog.
