Hi All,

We understand that this is a highly viewed thread on XD community and thank you for reaching out. We would like to inform you that you can use the plugin "Web Export" which allows you to extract HTML and CSS from your design.

You can also use Adobe XD plug-ins that allow for extracting HTML and CSS. Select Plugins > Discover Plugins and search using keywords such as web, or HTML, CSS.

Sharing a video from one of our Youtube experts on this topic.

Like it was correctly pointed out in this thread, Adobe Muse is no longer under development. You can use Adobe XD to create high-res prototypes of websites (responsive even!) that can be shared with your stakeholders and developers. Your developers will then have to translate your vision to code using the tool of their choice.

Having said that, I encourage you to have a look at these videos that will help you quickly create prototypes of websites in Adobe XD.

Adobe XD now has plug-ins that allow for extracting HTML and CSS. Select Plugins > Discover Plugins and search using keywords such as web, or HTML, CSS.

If you have used any of these plugins, we would like to know your observations on how you found them.

- Were you able to successfully use these tools to extract HTML and CSS?

- How easy was the handoff to the developer? Were the developers readily able to work with the code?

- Did you face any challenges that you want to share?

- Do you have any favourites?

While we are still on this topic, Adobe XD allows you to export assets Learn how to export production-ready assets from Adobe XD to PNG, SVG, JPG, and PDF files. that you can share with your developers. This helps reduce developer effort and production time. You can also share design specs containing design properties of files with developers Design specs .

So whats the workflow? I see the ease of design in XD but clearly we need to migrate to this path given that Muse is soon to be retired. Why not provide a tutorial on the workflow from XD to Dreamweaver?

You will require both html and css in order to build a web page, and if you wish any functionality that css does not provide you will also require javascript. I have seen many programs over the years that promise to make web development available to everyone, but have yet to see one that even comes close to fulfilling the expectations.

If you are a designer, with very little knowledge of web development, and do not want anything more than a static page, (no database) then one of the simplest is Adobe Muse -

This may not be the answer you are hoping for however, a typical workflow is to deliver a prototype design to a developer to code the site on the appropriate platform such as HTML5, Muse, Dreamweaver, WP or other technology solution. XD does not have an Export to HTML feature.

There are 3rd party plugins and within:

Illustrator has the ability to convert assets into css: Extract CSS | Illustrator CC

Photoshop: Copy CSS from layers in Photoshop

InDesign also has a Publish online feature - again not what you are looking for most likely.
