    Quick Summary Answer

    Yes. Figma is a 100% visual design tool that requires zero programming or coding skills.

    Figma is a visual drag-and-drop design application. You do not need to write HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code to create screens, UI components, or interactive prototypes.

    While Figma uses principles inspired by web layout (like flexbox padding in Auto Layout), all controls are presented visually in right-sidebar inspector panels. Front-end developers use Figma's Dev Mode to read code specs from your designs, but creating the designs requires no code.
