Maybe I can make some progress and find a suggestion to help? I am working from home today with little design work for my actual job. I’ve always heard the mantra “mobile first” because it’s easier to scale a website up than to crunch it down. I will start my design in XD and go forward, naming my objects and try to design a responsive layout. Actually just paid for the domain and hosting last night. I’m starting a new project today for my own website. Adobe XD seemed to have all the promise of making design and development so much easier.

Like you said, back in the day we used to do the same thing with Photoshop and Illustrator and just manual CSS. But if no one has really established a good workflow from design to development (or no one follows it, like in your situation), then XD seems like a waste of time. I think it’s a great program for creating a prototype. I need to reach out and pick their brains in the off chance that they may have some insight. I know of several UX/UI designers that love XD. What’s the point of XD other than to present a prototype? XD designers should take the same approach for their developers.Įxactly this. We would always output our files ready for any prepress department so they could easily do their job. It sucks when some one half-asses their responsibility and doesn’t give a damn about what happens after them.

So many of them just “make the pretty pictures” with no concept how to output the design to something functional. More designers should familiarize themselves with what a developer needs to do their job. I used to do this stuff with media queries when mobile browsing started and did not always do it well. Responsive design always gets the Cliff’s Notes approach too. Maybe I’m just not watching the right videos… Maybe they assume a developer would know this, but someone who strictly designs would not.

So many videos I have watched for translating XD to usable code completely skip over naming your objects. This is something that Adobe and some of the online videos need to focus on. There were no Classes, IDs or anything because I didn’t take the time to name my objects in XD. I realized this when I just copied and pasted my code and saw the CSS was complete but wasn’t referencing ANYTHING.

Naming objects and components is key so it can be referenced in CSS. It’s all a personal project so it’s “whenever I have time”. Granted, it’s outside of my usual design work so I don’t get to really focus on this.

You can make a cool prototype but translating from concept to functioning code doesn’t seem too work well for me. I am completely frustrated at XD right now. The design work was always better than the code but I made it work. I used to “roll my own” and do both design and development. I did way more web work in the early to mid 2000’s and I’m getting back into doing more code recently. I would love to find more info from a more experienced XD user. No real responsive export there - it just simply duplicates all your artboards into different s and with the help of javascript - it just 'display:none' the irrelevant ones (for example - if im on desktop - then 'app-mobile' and 'app-tablet' divs will be still on page, in terms of DOM, but will be 'display:none'd, which is quite a bad practice in terms of SEO and resources in general). I already tried 'Anima' app and the 'Web Export' plugin but both of them are doing quite a terrible job actually.

And finally, the issues which seems to be XD's achilles heel - the export itself.

These tables are a very crucial part of my website, since they handle complex backend data which updates on realtime.

How do you handle tables in Adobe XD? Is there a way to actually create one within the prototype? And I'm not talking about drawing some rectangles and calling it a table.

etc.) a components and keep them in a separate artboard for a reuse on my rest of the screens?

Should I make all my elements (menu, footer, container, sidebar etc.

Do you first build the desktop version and then simply duplicate it to both mobile and table resolutions and re-align the items? (after toggling on the 'responsive size' option of course).

Since it's my first introduction with such type of a project, I was wondering what is usually your workflow when it comes to responsive designs? xd file which was supposed to be a whole responsive website template, but apparently the designer did a terrible work, which means - he didn't name any of the elements, he didn't define those elements as 'responsive', he did make no use components.and basically he just ripped some paid XD components from around the web and put them all together.Īnd now, here i am, a PHP backend dev, for the first time, learning prototyping in Adobe XD and basically refactoring all of his work into a brand new project.
