Figma to Elementor, or a Native WordPress Theme?

Searching for Figma to Elementor usually means one thing: getting a Figma design into WordPress without coding it by hand. Elementor is one way. A native WordPress theme is another, and it is the one transjt builds. How each works, what each leaves you with, and how to choose.

The ways

Three ways from Figma into WordPress.

  • By hand

    Rebuild it in Elementor

    Recreate each section in Elementor’s editor, widget by widget, matching your Figma styles by eye. You keep full control, but every page is built twice: once in Figma, once in the builder.

  • Plugins

    Figma-to-Elementor plugins

    Plugins take Figma frames into Elementor for you: Figmentor imports them as Elementor templates, FigWP as Elementor and Essential Addons widgets, UiChemy as Elementor, Bricks or Gutenberg pages. It is fast, and the result lives in the builder’s format. See transjt vs. Figmentor, transjt vs. FigWP and transjt vs. UiChemy.

  • The native route

    A WordPress theme instead

    transjt does not export to Elementor. It turns your Figma design into a native WordPress theme with PHP templates and Gutenberg blocks, so no page builder is involved and the theme files belong to you. More on Figma to WordPress.

Compared

An Elementor layout or a native theme.

Both get a Figma design into WordPress. The difference is where the layout lives afterwards, and what that means for everyone who edits, extends or moves the site later.

Step by step

From Figma to a native WordPress theme.

If the native route fits, these are the steps, the same as for any Figma to WordPress project.

  1. Prepare your Figma file

    • Use Auto Layout on buttons, headers and containers: it maps to responsive layouts.
    • Group the design into sections that mirror real page regions (Hero, Features, Footer).
    • Design with reusable components rather than flattened pages.

  2. Run the transjt plugin

    • Open your design in Figma and launch the transjt plugin.
    • Select the frames or components you want to convert.
    • Choose WordPress as your project type.

  3. Export into WordPress

    • Install and activate the transjt plugin on your WordPress site.
    • Connect the site to your transjt workspace.
    • Export the theme: the plugin installs it on your site.

  4. Build pages in the block editor

    • Your team builds pages from the theme’s blocks in WordPress’s own editor.
    • Check tablet and mobile previews.
    • Add your own code in custom.css and custom.js; both are kept when you export again.

  5. Your WordPress theme in hours.

Before you switch

Leaving Elementor: what to plan for.

Moving a site from Elementor to a native theme means rebuilding the layout, and no setting does it for you. Plan for these.

  • Layouts don’t carry over

    Pages built in Elementor keep their layout in Elementor. A native theme replaces it with templates, so start from your Figma design, not from the Elementor pages.

  • Content inside widgets

    Text and images typed into Elementor widgets live in Elementor’s data. Move them into the new pages’ blocks.

  • Add-on widgets

    transjt exports navigation, blog templates and forms with the theme. Anything else an Elementor add-on did needs a block, a plugin or theme code.

  • Messy Figma files

    The most common cause of a poor result. Tidy layers, Auto Layout and components give a clean conversion.

Right for you?

When Elementor is still the right call.

Elementor suits a site that one person builds and edits visually, with no developers involved and no plans to move. If a team edits the site, developers extend it, or HubSpot might come next, a native theme from Figma is the cleaner base: the layout is in code you own, and the same file converts to both CMSs.

FAQ

Questions about Figma to Elementor.

The short answers. For anything else, book a demo and ask us.

Book a demo

  • No. transjt builds a native WordPress theme with PHP templates and Gutenberg blocks instead of an Elementor layout. If you need Elementor specifically, plugins such as Figmentor, FigWP or UiChemy do that.

  • transjt builds a native theme, so you don’t need a page builder. Developers can work with the code in most workflows.

  • You do. transjt exports a native WordPress theme to your own site, and the theme files belong to you. Add your own code in custom.css and custom.js; both are kept when you export again.

  • Yes. The same Figma file converts to a HubSpot CMS theme as well, so you are not locked to one platform.
