I tried using the iPad for Web Design

Using an iPad as my primary device for web design wasn't something I thought possible in the past, but I wanted to see if it is now in 2023. You can use a tablet as a website design device in many different ways, including things like UI and UX apps such as Figma and Wix Studio.

Since I have a computer, laptop and tablet for website designing, I found designing different for each device, especially when considering UI, UX and Components Design.

Will the iPad Silently Rise to Rule Web Design and No Code

Excellent video, as a product designer I’ve often wondered how it would be editing in Figma on the iPad but this video pretty much reassures what I initially suspected. Thank you for your insights and hopefully they do make more updates to the iPad for designers.

Awesome video, Adrian. Love the format!

Awesome video. I was wondering about the capabilities of an ipad to design and built a website. Great insight. 👍🏽

Doesn't it work better with a pen rather than fingers?

[vrcgdtl]

Why don't you use Apple Pencil instead of fingers or keyboard?

Great video. I have the iPad Pro and have been struggling with editing on Squarespace the past couple days also. Selecting boxes or elements can be hit or miss or just completely unresponsive. I thought it may have been Squarespace issue but then I tried on my Dell laptop and it was smooth as butter. So yes I agree with you, for some reason the iPad is just not quite ready to handle this task full time.

As someone trying this for years. ( since 1st iPad Pro ) I can work fully on the iPad if needed but I would not recommend either. For drawing I would but anything Figma or photoshop I think is just worst than laptop/computer and have no real benefit ( iPad + keyboard + mouse is heavier as you mentioned ). Maybe in a couple years as now we have the power, the screen, the keyboard we are lacking lightness, easy to use and Figma proper software for iPad =)

Figurative is the best option to use if a right now

For now, I prefer using my laptop, but who knows next year :) also a big fan of the logitech mouse!

You said you couldn’t use figma, and now you can.. why - how? You said nothing of this. What are you trying to say - it just works now? For what reason? Who improved what to make it work?

Hi Codex.
I'm thinking about to buy and iPad Pro for working with Figma (I have a Macbook Air M1 today). My only problem is the personalized fonts for some project. So I'm between the Galaxy Book 360 with Windows 11 or the iPad Pro with M2 which supports the Stage Manager. What do you think is a better option? Did you try the Stage Manager? If it yes, how was the experience with Figma Web or Figurative?

Useless information: If I can say this way "my dream" is to have a one device for everything, where I can use on my desktop table in office, unplug and watch a movie on the sofa of playing some games in the bed. So I really want to retire my MacBook and have only an iPad.

Your hands-on approach to testing the iPad's potential for web design is impressive. What specific improvements or features do you think are needed to make the iPad an ideal tool for web development?

[syberpunk]

No test at trying out a code editor witth HTML/CSS??

[chandanam]

Thanks man you cleared my confusion i pad cant replace desktop.

Tried Figma on my new IPads Pro 12’9 and Figma freezes all the time, so I’m not sure it could be comfortable for work. Also the hover functions don’t work and mobile version only works in the show mode

[adrianamantillarincon]

Unfortunately ipad still are not that friendly with keyboard commands, I'm specially frustrated with the command "move front" and "move back" and the hand (because i use the space bar instead the "H" )

Also, the fonts availability are something also to considering in the case that you have been thinking on just having an IPAD to designs because the offer is limited, or does anyone know any fonts manager for ipad users? It could be so helpful!

Anyway, thank you for your video I'm currently in the same mode, so I'm just trying to use only the Ipad hahahaha

[acceleratorgg]

Which version of ipad supports figma? and Does ipad runs Adobe apps like photoshop, illustrator?

[linovin_]

glad i came to this video before buying an ipad for my web design

[Jawaeye-qhtd]

I opened it in Safari and the interface does not appear as in the video
It has limited possibilities

It does not appear to me as it appears to

[yellowboat]

Oh snap your in Vic Park, thought I recognised that cafe!
