DevZap for Designers

Figma is great until you need to know how a typeface renders on a real page, what a color does at small sizes, or how a gradient holds up against actual content. DevZap answers those questions in the browser, with the actual fonts, the actual contrast, the actual screen DPI.

Pain points

What we hear from designers

  • Figma colors and browser colors don't match

    Figma defaults to Display P3, browsers (mostly) default to sRGB. The same hex looks different and you find out at QA time.

  • Picking a font means committing to it in code

    Trying a font usually requires a developer to wire up a Google Fonts import. By the time you see the preview, the iteration loop is hours long.

  • Accessibility checks are an afterthought

    A pretty design that fails WCAG ships, gets shamed, gets refactored. The cost of getting contrast right at design time is near-zero; getting it wrong is expensive.

Workflows

Three workflows you'll use weekly

  1. 1

    Test a typography pairing on a real page

    1. Open Font Pairing with your candidate heading + body fonts
    2. Compare against existing live sites to gauge density
    3. Copy the @import + CSS snippet for handoff
  2. 2

    Verify your palette passes WCAG AA

    1. Plug each text/background pair into Contrast Checker
    2. Adjust lightness in OKLCH until everything passes
    3. Document the final values in your design tokens
  3. 3

    Build a depth-aware shadow scale

    1. Use Box Shadow Generator to design 3 elevation levels
    2. Stack 2-layer shadows for realistic depth
    3. Copy the declarations into your design tokens
