Automating Website Revamps with AI: A Case Study

Introduction

Website redesigns are often time-consuming, requiring significant manual effort in UI/UX improvements, content restructuring, and performance optimization. Resurrects.co leverages AI-driven automation to streamline website revamps, reducing turnaround time and enhancing design efficiency.

In this case study, we’ll explore how Resurrects.co integrates the Figma API with GPT-4 to generate AI-powered UI designs dynamically. We’ll also provide a code example demonstrating how to automate UI generation.

AI-Powered UI Generation Workflow

  1. Extracting design insights from an existing website
  2. Generating optimized UI components using GPT-4
  3. Applying AI-generated designs to Figma via API
  4. Exporting Figma designs to frontend frameworks

Code Example: Automating UI Generation

Below is a simplified JavaScript implementation using Node.js to integrate Figma API and GPT-4 for automated UI revamps.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js installed
  • Figma API key
  • OpenAI API key
  • Existing Figma file with a base UI template

Install Dependencies

npm install axios openai dotenv
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Code Implementation

require('dotenv').config();
const axios = require('axios');
const { OpenAI } = require('openai');

const openai = new OpenAI({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });
const FIGMA_API_URL = 'https://api.figma.com/v1/files/';
const FIGMA_FILE_ID = 'YOUR_FIGMA_FILE_ID';
const FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN = process.env.FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN;

async function generateUILayout(prompt) {
    const response = await openai.completions.create({
        model: "gpt-4",
        prompt: `Generate a JSON layout for a modern website UI: ${prompt}`,
        max_tokens: 500
    });
    return JSON.parse(response.choices[0].text);
}

async function updateFigmaLayout(layout) {
    await axios.put(
        `https://api.figma.com/v1/files/${FIGMA_FILE_ID}`,
        { document: layout },
        { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN}` } }
    );
    console.log('Figma UI updated successfully!');
}

(async () => {
    const prompt = "Revamp a modern SaaS landing page with a clean and minimalistic design.";
    const newUILayout = await generateUILayout(prompt);
    await updateFigmaLayout(newUILayout);
})();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Conclusion

By integrating GPT-4 with the Figma API, Resurrects.co significantly automates the website redesign process. This approach saves time, reduces manual design work, and ensures optimized UI/UX based on AI insights. As AI-powered automation advances, website revamps will become more efficient and accessible.
