I’m Ryan James, founder of Seahawk, Brandy, 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, Brandy, focuses on brand asset management, offering cutting-edge design solutions. Both Seahawk and Brandy are proudly backed by industry leaders like Adobe and WPBeginner, reflecting my deep passion for WordPress and design operations.
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 product, design2.com, uses patent-pending AI to transform Figma designs into live WordPress sites with a single click—no auto layout required. 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 and empowers designers to focus on creativity, not the technicalities.
With WordPress powering over 40% of the web and Figma as the dominant design tool, design2.com’s proprietary fallback layout inference mechanism (FLIM) delivers unmatched ease and accuracy. Unlike competitors, which force manual layout and performance optimization, our AI intelligently predicts and applies the necessary adjustments—seamlessly handling unstructured layouts. This makes design2.com a game-changer for designers everywhere.
We’ve already attracted significant interest from major web hosts, agencies, and enterprises. Web hosts, in particular, are eager to white-label our API, allowing their customers to quickly take Figma designs live on their hosting plans. Seahawk and our investor, WPBeginner, have built strong authority in the ‘Figma to WordPress’ services category, but 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 tool; 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 patent-pending technology and our history in the WordPress community, we’re poised to build a product that delivers 100% accuracy and reliability, every time.
While our immediate focus is the WordPress ecosystem, our long-term vision reaches far beyond it. We’re setting a new standard for Figma designers who want a fast, efficient path to launching their sites.
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
