What web design actually requires in 2026
Figma + Variables + Auto-layout dominates 2026; design tokens shipped via Style Dictionary or Tokens Studio sync into Tailwind/CSS variables. Frame-by-frame Photoshop and Sketch deliverables are an immediate red flag for a contemporary build pipeline. Senior product designers ship in Figma, write microcopy, run usability tests, and hand off with annotated specs + tokens. "Visual designers" who only deliver pixel layouts force engineers to make 200+ undocumented interaction decisions and stretch builds 30%.
