Founding Story

I’m Ryan James, founder of Seahawk, Stylebase, and now design2.com! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our new product. Here’s a quick background on my journey:

In 2018, I launched Seahawk, which has since grown into a thriving WordPress agency, now a million-dollar business with over 100% growth this year. My second venture, Stylebase and our flagship products Brandy and UI Vault, focuses on brand asset management and design systems, offering cutting-edge design and brand software solutions. Both Seahawk and Stylebase are proudly backed by industry leaders like Adobe and WPBeginner, reflecting my deep passion for WordPress, branding, and design.

While Seahawk continues to thrive in the WordPress space, I’m excited to embark on a new journey that addresses a critical gap: converting designs into live open-source CMS platforms like WordPress. After seeing firsthand the challenges of converting Figma designs into WordPress and watching our UI devs and designers spend hours on this process, I knew it was time to build a solution for the community.

Our new platform, design2.com, is the ultimate solution for converting Figma designs into live WordPress sites. Current solutions rely heavily on the Figma API and demand design file perfection, a requirement that doesn’t work for over 90% of non-technical designers. We’ve created a smarter system that eliminates hours of optimization with some manual love, and empowers designers to focus on creativity, not the technicalities.

With WordPress powering over half of the internet and Figma as the dominant design tool, the design2.com & fig2wp system delivers unmatched ease and accuracy. Unlike competitors, which force manual layout and performance optimization, we intelligently predict and apply the necessary adjustments using AI, seamlessly handling unstructured layouts. This makes design2.com a game-changer for designers everywhere.

The market has been dominated by underwhelming software solutions that require flawless Figma designs. Believe me, we wanted to use these products at Seahawk, but they simply didn’t work. Our vision is to eliminate that burden entirely, empowering designers to go live with ease.

design2.com isn’t just another cloud platform; it represents a fundamental shift in how design and development converge, addressing a massive unmet need in the market. Our insight, experience, and backing give us a unique advantage in solving this problem. With our technology and services expertise, we’re poised to build a solution that delivers 100% accuracy and reliability, every time.

We’ve poured our heart and soul into design2.com, and I truly hope you’ll find it as revolutionary as we do.

Sincerely,
Ryan James
Founder of design2.com
