Figma to Hugo Implementation: Design to Live Site
This was a SaaS marketing site that started as a finished Figma file. All the pages were already designed and approved, so the work was about turning that into a real site without changing how anything looked.
How I Approached It
Instead of building each page on its own, I broke the design into sections that repeated across the site. Things like navigation, page layouts, and shared content blocks were set up once and reused.
Those pieces became Hugo templates, and the content was kept separate so changes would not affect the layout.
How It Came Together
Once the structure was in place, the pages came together pretty smoothly. Spacing and typography stayed consistent, and updates only needed to be made in one place instead of across multiple files.
Assets were handled as part of the build, so there was no separate optimization step later.
Where It Ended Up
The live site matches the Figma design and loads fast without extra work. It is easy to update, and the structure holds up as more pages are added.
If You Want to Look
You can compare the Figma file with the live Hugo site. That is basically the whole story from design to finished website.
