Welcome to your first Practice Lesson! Each chapter in our course will include a practice lesson where you'll apply your newly acquired skills.

What We’ll Do

By the end of this course, you will have created a modern and responsive custom website, designed in Figma and coded using shadcn/ui.

Website project preview

Our course consists of 5 chapters, each with a practice lesson that will guide you in building your website piece by piece:

  1. Getting Started - Set up a Figma file for your website project.
  2. Theming - Customize your website's unique styling by adjusting variables.
  3. Components - Modify crucial components to fit your design.
  4. Pro Blocks - Construct your website using Pro Blocks, editing them to match your style.
  5. Plugin - Use the Figma to shadcn/ui plugin to build a fully functional website.

Let’s Get Started!

In this chapter, you learned how to import the UI kit into your Figma account drafts. Let's use that knowledge to create a file for our Website Project.

Task 1.

  1. Create a fresh copy of the shadcn/ui kit for Figma in your Figma account Drafts.
  2. Rename this file to "Website Project - ShadcnDesign Academy".

That's it! You now have a fresh project to start with. In the next practice lesson, we will edit variables to customize our project styling.
