The most painful part of web design isn’t research or high-fidelity screens for me—it’s the early stage where you’re staring at a blank page thinking: how many pages do I need, what sections go where, and what’s my style guide even going to look like in a real layout? That mental load of turning a vague idea into something visual is what eats hours (sometimes days). I went down the AI tool rabbit hole, and most tools jump straight to polished mockups—but real designers don’t need that. We need control, structure, and an actual process. In this video, I show how Relume changed my kickoff workflow: I generate a sitemap from a prompt, turn that into wireframes (with relevant AI-generated copy per section), and then build a customizable style guide that I can test in a live concept page. I can shuffle layouts while keeping the copy, lock brand colors, adjust typography, and swap UI styles like buttons and radius. Then I export everything to Figma using the Relume kit + plugin, and it even brings the style guide in as variables—colors, type, UI styles, the whole setup. The big takeaway: it’s not replacing Figma; it’s a smart bridge that gets me from “where do I start?” to “let’s build” fast—especially when I’m working with real client briefs.
