Before you start
Do I need drawing skills?
No. UI design is about layout, hierarchy and clarity, not illustration. Practice matters far more than talent.
Is Figma free?
Figma has a free plan that’s enough for this whole course. Paid plans add features for teams and developer handoff. Check figma.com/pricing for current plans.
Do I need to know code?
No. Knowing basic HTML and CSS helps you design things that are practical to build, and the free courses on this site cover them.
What will I build?
A landing page design for desktop and mobile with a small design system and a clickable prototype you can share with clients.
