How to Design & Prototype a Responsive Website Header in Figma Step by Step | Figma 2025
In this class, we’ll design and prototype a responsive website header in Figma — the kind you see on real-world sites, with clean navigation, a strong brand presence, and a clear call-to-action.

We’ll cover:
Key principles for effective headers (with real examples)
Structuring your header for all screen sizes
Using Auto Layout for easy responsiveness
Adding a smart CTA button (built with the component from one of my previous classes)
Prototyping the mobile menu with Figma Make so it’s fully interactive
If you’d like to learn how to create that button from scratch, check out: How to Create a Smart, Reusable Button in Figma (with Variants & Properties) — it’s the perfect companion to this one.
By the end, you’ll have a fully responsive and functional header ready to drop into any project — plus, you’ll know the best practices for making headers that work beautifully across devices.
This class is beginner-friendly, but even if you’ve been using Figma for a while, you’ll pick up tips for working faster and building more flexible layouts.

Here’s what to include:
A desktop layout (with logo, nav links, and CTA button)
Tablet and mobile layouts showing how it adapts
A clear call-to-action button (you can use the smart button from my other class, or make your own)
