10-step roadmap

UI/UX Designer-to-Developer

You already think about how things should look and feel. This path teaches you to build those designs yourself, in code.

UI/UX Designer-to-Developer roadmap

Follow the line, from first step to goal.

  1. Design fundamentals recap

    Start

    Review layout, color, spacing, and typography. These are the design principles you'll now translate directly into code.

  2. HTML — a page's skeleton

    The structure and content of a web page, like the frame of a house before any styling is added.

  3. CSS — bringing designs to life

    CSS is the language that turns plain HTML into something that matches your design file: colors, spacing, and layout.

  4. Responsive design in code

    Making sure a design you drew for desktop actually looks good and works on a phone screen too.

  5. JavaScript basics

    JavaScript is the language that adds interactivity: dropdowns, animations, and buttons that actually do something.

  6. Git & GitHub

    Git saves your code's history, so you never lose work. It's also the tool developers use to work together. Learning it early lets you work the way real dev teams do.

  7. Design systems & components

    Build reusable pieces, like buttons and cards, once. This keeps your whole app looking consistent.

  8. From Figma to code

    Translate a design file into real, working code. Learn which details actually matter to keep.

  9. A frontend framework: React

    A widely-used toolkit for building interactive interfaces out of reusable components.

  10. Accessibility basics

    Goal

    Make sure your well-designed app also works for people using screen readers or keyboard-only navigation.
