Figma and Shopify: the best for obtaining a unique and efficient design

Shopify remains the preferred solution for most brands who want a successful e-commerce site. Even for big international brands like Tesla and Kylie Jenner that operate in ebusiness, because of its ease of use, beautiful themes, and responsive and professional customer service. But for those who work in design,  Figma has also become an essential tool, especially for collaborating and creating projects with others.

What if we told you that it is possible to combine Figma and Shopify to obtain a unique e-commerce site 100% in your image? 

It's our job, asweb agency specializing in Shopify, to develop a Shopify theme for you based on your Figma models.

Figma is a platform where your designers, copywriters, developers, and marketing team can all work together to create a design for your Shopify website. It is possible to go very far and obtain much more than a graphic charter. We're talking about working together to create real-time web design prototypes. That's what Figma can do. 

Figma, what is it?

Figma is, like Shopify, a cloud-based application for collaborative design projects. It gives you tools to create UI and UX prototypes and designs for websites and apps while enabling teams to collaborate anytime, anywhere. It improves and speeds up workflows so effectively that today it is used by big companies like Slack, Twitter and Dropbox.

About Figma:

Figma helps teams create, test, and ship better designs from start to finish. Packed with the design features you already love and unique inventions like the Arc tool and vector networks, Figma helps you keep ideas flowing. No need to stop to install, save or export. This is what all good cloud software should be.

Of course Figma has very well-known competitors like Sketch, Adobe XD, Invision and Framer. But at Pikka we really like Figma because it allows you to have many details on the integration and to make really beautiful themes. If you have a project with Shopify Plus for example then we strongly recommend that you create the graphic charter with Figma to make the most of the graphic possibilities in Shopify

How much does a Figma Theme creation service cost to Shopify?

It is always difficult to precisely quantify a project of this type without having a clear vision of the graphic models. Indeed, some details may require a lot of development. 

Here are some figures to help you define your budget: 

• Simple: An integration of a simple Figma model (homepage, category page, product page) on computer and mobile can start from 5,000 € HT
• Medium: If you have more pages or very specific needs (very speed and performance oriented graphic theme) you should rather count around 10,000 €
• Complex: Do you need pixel perfect integration? Very high brand and design requirements? Want the best of the best? So the rates can vary depending on the number of pages to integrate but the budgets can be from 15 to 30,000 € depending on the project. 

Of course, our team always seeks to provide you with the best value for money, which is why we always carry out a personalized study based on your unique needs.
