Do you build from Figma files, PSD files, or both?

Both. Figma is easier because we can read spacing, type styles, and measurements directly in the file. A PSD works too, and we will ask for tidied layer groups and text that stays live so we can read the font sizes ourselves.

What does pixel perfect actually mean for a responsive page?

It means matching the intent of the design at each viewport we agree to support. The browser renders type, form controls, and fractional layouts in its own way, so a few pixels of difference on optical spacing is normal. We report every difference we find, with its cause, instead of quietly adjusting the design.

Which stack does the front end use?

Plain HTML and CSS with vanilla JavaScript for simpler sites, Tailwind where utility classes suit the project, and React or Next.js when the build is part of an application. The choice follows your existing codebase and who maintains it after handover.

What happens to the states and animations the design file leaves out?

We write them, show them on a staging URL, and adjust them after your review. That covers hover and focus styles, empty and error messages, loading placeholders, and motion for menus, modals, and accordions.

How long does a conversion take, and what happens after handover?

A single page or template usually runs one to three weeks, and a set of ten to fifteen screens runs three to six weeks depending on animation and integrations. Handover includes the repository, component notes, and a written record of every place the build differs from the file.

Figma and PSD to HTML/CSS Development

We turn Figma and PSD files into responsive HTML, CSS, React, Next.js or Tailwind front ends, including the hover, focus, error and loading states.

An approved design file is a promise made in a tool that knows nothing about viewports, fonts, or keyboards. The file shows one desktop frame at a comfortable width. The questions arrive as soon as a developer opens it: which breakpoints matter, what the submit button looks like while the form is sending, whether the mobile menu animates, and how the layout holds when a client name runs to three lines.

We convert Figma and PSD files into front-end code that answers those questions: semantic HTML, CSS that survives the next content update, and JavaScript or React components where the interaction needs them. The build lands in your repository with documentation and a written list of every place the browser disagreed with the mockup.

What a design to code conversion is

The design file holds layout, type, colour, spacing, and the visual character of the page. Conversion expresses that in the browser: markup that describes the content, stylesheets that control layout at each width, and scripts for anything that moves or changes state.

The output shape follows the destination. A marketing site gets HTML, CSS, and a little JavaScript. A React or Next.js application gets components with props and typed interfaces. A WordPress theme gets templates that render whatever the editor saves, which differs from slicing a fixed page.

What the design file has to contain

The build is only as accurate as the file it starts from. We ask for these before quoting and fill the gaps ourselves when they are missing:

Frames for desktop, tablet, and mobile, or a decision that wider layouts are ours to propose
A tokens page or component library: type scale, spacing steps, colour values, button variants
Fonts licensed for web embedding, or agreement on the closest substitute, and icons or logos in SVG
Notes on elements that change appearance and timing for anything that moves, plus access with inspect permissions or an exported specification sheet

When a gap matters, we write down our intended decision and send it for approval. A hover state nobody specified is still a decision that ships.

Who this is for

Design studios that sold the concept and need a front-end partner
Startups with a designer and no front-end engineer yet
Companies replacing a page-builder site where the visuals never matched the design
Marketing teams with a campaign design and a launch date
Agencies subcontracting overflow work on an approved design

If the existing site is the problem, our website redesign and UI refresh service starts one step earlier. If no design exists yet, UI and UX design comes first, and we can run both stages as one engagement.

What we deliver

Markup, styles, and components

The page is built mobile first at the narrowest supported width, then widened. Breakpoints follow the layout and sit where it actually breaks. Repeated elements become components with defined options: a card takes a title, an image, and a link, and nobody copies markup across fifteen files.

States the file did not show

Most mockups show one frame per screen in its ideal state. We build the rest: hover, focus, active, disabled, empty, error, and loading. A field needs an invalid-input message and a visible focus ring for keyboard users. Each state is written, shown on a staging URL, and adjusted after review.

Motion and animation handoff

Where the design includes animation, we ask about feel and duration. Menus, modals, accordions, and scroll reveals get built with the values from the specification, and we respect the operating system setting for reduced motion. When the motion exists only in a prototype video, we extract the timing and note it.

Accessibility and handover

Headings in order, labels tied to inputs, focus moved into a dialog when it opens, contrast that passes, and buttons that are actual buttons. Our WCAG and ADA compliance service takes this further when you need a formal audit. Handover gives you the repository, component notes, token definitions, and the difference list below.

When the design and the browser disagree

Pixel perfect, in our reading, means the page matches the intent of the design at the viewports we agreed to support. It does not mean every pixel lands where the artboard put it, because the browser decides part of the outcome and two browsers rarely agree with each other.

Some differences come from the platform. macOS and Windows render the same font at different weights. iOS Safari enlarges text in some layouts unless the viewport rules prevent it. Mobile browsers hide the address bar while scrolling, so a full-height section measured with 100vh jumps unless we use the dynamic viewport units. Native date pickers and select menus carry the operating system's styling, and fractional column widths round differently.

Others come from the design: a text frame measured against placeholder copy, or a contrast ratio that looks fine on a bright monitor and fails a calculation.

We handle both the same way. The page is built to the frame at the reference width, then screenshotted at each supported viewport and compared at 1:1. Every visible difference gets a cause and one of three recommendations: change the design, accept the browser behaviour, or build a custom control to force the intended result. You choose, and the decision goes into the build notes. Spacing tolerances are agreed at kickoff so nobody spends a day on two invisible pixels.

How the engagement runs

Four phases. The handoff review takes a few days: we read the file, list the gaps, and send the questions in one batch. The build follows, starting with structure and layout, then components, then states, then motion. Review happens on a staging URL where you comment against the running page. Testing across browsers and real phones closes the work, followed by handover.

What it costs

We work at a flat rate of $39 per hour, or on a fixed scope agreed after we have seen the design file and counted the screens. A single marketing page or a handful of components is a small, predictable job that runs one to three weeks. A design system turned into a component library, or a site of fifteen templates with custom animation, runs longer.

The scope drivers are the number of unique screens, whether tokens or a component library already exist, how much custom animation the design specifies, how many integrations sit behind the interface, and whether the code has to land inside an existing application or CMS theme.

Teams needing steady front-end capacity alongside their own developers use our monthly plans from $2,699. The pricing page explains the hourly rate, the monthly model, and the published typical-order budgets.

Proof

OKOK is a bespoke actor and agency platform with tailored profiles and messaging, documented with Figma in the stack alongside React, Next.js, HTML5, and CSS3. It shows a design-led product carried from visual concept into a working platform by one team.

Morrow Hill VisionWorks is a corporate real estate site where Vue.js provides the interactive property search inside a WordPress CMS. It is the case we point to when new interactive components have to join a content platform without rebuilding the whole front end.

Vikentilia is a WordPress real estate platform for the Cyprus market, built around dynamic property search, listing management, and a buyer-facing presentation that stayed credible while inventory changed. It shows our approach to search and filter interfaces, where the states a mockup leaves out matter most.
