Do Not Publish Your Designs on the Web with Figma Sites…

…Unless you want to fail all the WCAGs, create litigation risk, close off opportunities in Europe, engage in reputational harm, and oh yeah, throw up barriers to your customers and users. What am I talking about? Figma announced Figma Sites, letting you publish your Figma designs directly to the web.…

@aardrian “I don’t mean to be the party-pooper here. I just happen to be really good at it” is one of the best lines I’ve read in ages. I’d like it on a poster…or a badge. 😄

@mandymichael At this point in my career it might as well be on my business card.

@aardrian "That’s impressive! It’s like Dreamweaver has been resurrected from 1997, except now with mouse parallax!" I cry laughing. Or maybe I just cry. Of course, my (future ex) company is already considering using it, as they are tired of developers pushing back.

@ototoi Of course the company wants to use it — Figma is failing to disclose all the risk it’s offloading to its customers. Heaven forbid anyone do even the most basic checks.

@aardrian I don't believe it's just because people are not aware of the theoretical risks. I keep explaining risks and threats to decision makers who nod in agreement and then just proceed with the selection of the most inaccessible and unsecure tools. It looks like they all know they'll probably be fine, the editors lying, as well as their customers pretending to believe what they know is a lie. I guess so many companies are doing this that the probability to actually get caught is pretty low.
