Build flexible, responsive layouts — without writing code

A huge component library now available for Figma

User-Friendly Interface
Webflow's Flexbox UI Builder offers a visually intuitive way to manage CSS flexbox layouts, making it easier for designers to create complex responsive designs without writing code.
Real-Time Preview
The builder provides real-time visual feedback, allowing users to see the changes as they manipulate the flexbox properties, greatly enhancing the design process efficiency.
Advanced Customization
The tool provides flexible options for customizing layouts, enabling designers to create highly specific and unique designs that adhere to the responsive design requirements.
Time-Saving
It significantly reduces the time needed to design flexbox layouts by eliminating the need to manually write and test flexbox code, which can be quite complex.
Educational Resources
Webflow offers extensive educational resources and tutorials about using the Flexbox UI Builder, which helps users effectively understand and implement flexbox principles.

Steep Learning Curve
For those completely new to flexbox or web design, there might be an initial learning curve to fully understand all of the features and capabilities of the builder.
Limited to Webflow Environment
The tool is part of the Webflow ecosystem, meaning designers are tied to Webflow's platforms for both design and hosting, which may limit flexibility for those who prefer other environments.
Dependency on Internet
Since it's an online tool, a stable internet connection is necessary, which can be a disadvantage in environments with unreliable connectivity.
Subscription Costs
While Webflow offers a free tier, advanced features—including those related to flexbox—may require a subscription, potentially increasing costs for design teams or freelancers.
Mobile Responsiveness Adjustments
Although the Flexbox allows for responsive design, complex layouts sometimes need additional tweaks in Webflow's designer to ensure that they work seamlessly across all devices.

Consistency with Vuetify
Vuetify for Figma provides a set of components that align closely with the Vuetify design system, ensuring design consistency when transitioning from design to development.
Time Efficiency
Using a pre-built UI library like Vuetify for Figma can significantly speed up the design process, as designers have access to ready-to-use components that don't need to be created from scratch.
Design-Development Alignment
This tool aims to closely mirror the Vuetify component library used in Vue.js development, reducing discrepancies between design and actual product.
High Customizability
The components are customizable, allowing designers to adjust styles and layouts to fit specific project needs while retaining the core Vuetify structure.
Comprehensive Component Library
Vuetify for Figma includes a wide range of frequently used UI elements, making it versatile for various types of design projects.

Learning Curve
Designers not familiar with Vuetify or Material Design might face a learning curve when trying to utilize the components effectively.
Dependency on Vuetify
For projects not using the Vuetify framework, these components might be less relevant, limiting the tool's applicability to Vuetify-specific projects.
Potential Overhead
For simple projects, utilizing a comprehensive set of components may introduce unnecessary complexity and overhead.
Updates and Maintenance
Keeping up-to-date with the latest Vuetify developments might be necessary to ensure compatibility, adding maintenance effort if the library evolves.
