Blutui vs Figma Sites

Figma Sites lets designers publish straight from the canvas, which is ideal for a portfolio or launch page, but it is a design tool learning to publish, not a platform for running client websites.

Where Figma Sites is strong

The design tool most agency creatives already use, with responsive breakpoints, interactions, code layers, a CMS in beta and hosting on a custom domain. Figma Make can also publish simple web apps.

Why agencies choose Blutui

  1. Production-grade, not beta

    Figma Sites and its CMS are still in beta. The CMS caps collections at 200 items, with no API access, content staging or granular editor permissions. Blutui runs production client sites today with four nines+ availability.

  2. Design in Figma, build in Blutui

    Blutui takes a Figma prototype to a live site in under three minutes, so designers keep Figma for what it does best while developers own the production code.

  3. Client editing built for clients

    Figma charges for content seats and offers no granular editor permissions. Blutui’s Canopy Blocks let clients edit safely, with client access included in the project fee.

  4. White-label and campaigns

    Figma Sites carries no agency branding and has no campaign system. Blutui is white-labelled, and Cassettes run multiple campaign front ends from one dataset.

From microsite to data-driven website

Figma Sites is quick for a portfolio or launch page. Campaign site management, data-driven sites and web applications need a production platform. Blutui covers the full range.

In one line

Figma is where great sites are designed; Blutui is where agencies ship and run them.
