As a user, you can't manually add new features to your free plan. However, Figma periodically updates its platform and may introduce new features or enhancements across all plans, including the free tier. When Figma releases updates or new features, they typically apply to all users, regardless of their plan. This means that as Figma continues to develop its platform, you may benefit from additional features or improvements over time without needing to manually add them. To understand about Figma's features we must first understand website design fundamentals.

Absolutely! It just depends on what your goals are and how much fidelity you need. In other words: do you need something that's fully interactive and feels like the real thing? Or do you need something to just test a hypothesis and make an idea more tangible? The tool you use should support your needs. Primitive/Low-Fidelity - best for quick testing of an idea: - Paper and sharpie (yup, I'm serious) - Keynote/Powerpoint Basic/Medium-Fidelity - when your idea is more complex or you're testing interaction models, navigation, etc. - Sketch (built-in prototyping) - Figma (built-in prototyping) - Invision (w/ Invision Studio or one of the above) Advanced / High-fidelity - when you need something that feels... "real" - Sketch (built-in prototyping) - Figma (built-in prototyping) - Invision (w/ Invision Studio or one of the above) - Framer (code-centric) - Principle (great for testing animations/transitions) There are many many others, but these are the most frequently used tools found in my tool chest. Axure is too far on the "why-not-just-build-it" spectrum for me. Balsamiq is too corny and single-purpose. Again, depends on your goals, your comfort level with the tools and the time available for putting it all together.
