Building a Website with Midjourney, Figma & ChatGPT: Ultimate Guide for Web Development

Building a Carousel System in HTML and CSS

• The process starts with designing the Carousel system in Figma to plan the transitions and values

• After designing in Figma, the next step involves building the system in HTML

• The design process includes creating frames, tracing UI elements, and adding text to match the interface

• The use of iPhone presets for mobile UI design is recommended

• Perfect circles can be drawn using the ellipse tool and duplicating them for even spacing

• Applying gradients and drop shadows to the elements enhances the design

Creating UI Elements and Enhancing Images

• The process begins with tracing pill shapes, borders, and lines to be incorporated into the UI design.

• A rectangle is drawn for the header, and a gradient is applied to the top portion.

• Another rectangle is drawn to create a gradient on the left side, with a subtle shadow effect using a linear gradient.

• Hero images are enhanced by opening them in Photoshop, enlarging them to 1024 pixels, and using a stability plugin to improve the resolution.

• The process is repeated for the other hero image.

Creating Seamless Masks and Building Carousels in Figma

• Using the pen tool, draw a path around the desired area and create a Vector mask.

• Click the mask button in the layers panel and use the magic wand tool to select content on the image perimeter.

• Paint the selected mask area in Black using the brush tool and then apply a gradient around the image for seamless blending.

• Save the image as a PNG, place it in Figma, and position it accordingly.

• To build a Carousel, place the images and offset them, duplicate the frame, and position the header image in view.

• In prototype mode, add an interaction to navigate to the other frame on drag, using smart animate.

• Repeat the interaction for the other header frame in reverse.

• Ensure a smooth transition and alignment of the images within the Carousel.

Building a Figma Prototype and Generating HTML/CSS with AI

• The Figma prototype allows for swiping between header images with seamless transition.

• Matching colors of different views in Figma prototype is essential for a cohesive design.

• Using the pen tool in Figma to trace vector shapes and export them as SVG for HTML integration is a simple process.

• AI tools like chat GPT can be utilized to quickly generate HTML boilerplate and other code snippets, making the development process more efficient.

Creating Interactive Carousel with Green Sock Animation Platform

• To create an interactive carousel using the Green Sock animation platform, the process involved copying the HTML into the HTML document and adding CSS and JavaScript.

• Initially, the carousel was set to navigate automatically at the top, but the goal was to make it interactive and allow users to swipe between the different carousel items.

• After some trial and error with swipe direction and touch events, the desired result was achieved using pointer events that worked on both desktop and mobile platforms.

• The JavaScript code was then integrated to enable the navigation between carousel items by swiping left or right.

• Finally, the HTML was updated to replace the carousel items with hero images, and some CSS adjustments were made to the layout and image selection.

Adding Dynamic Styles to Webpages

• Adding a class to the body tag based on the current carousel item enables dynamic style updates

• The JavaScript code is adjusted to work with the current page variable for seamless functionality

• CSS gradients from Figma are copied and pasted for background styling based on page transitions

• Circle items are added using flexbox for even spacing, along with gradient pasting from Figma

• Markup creation, CSS layout adjustments, and variable pasting from Figma are part of the process

• The entire process leads to an updated webpage with dynamic styles, and the source code is available on GitHub
