Digital agencies and enterprise product teams waste thousands of developer hours manually recreating legacy software interfaces and converting visual mockups into production-ready React components.

Forma automates full-stack frontend migrations by transforming visual screenshots, legacy websites, and Figma mockups into production-grade Tailwind and React code bases. It automatically maps visual elements directly to your existing design system tokens, maintaining brand consistency across every screen. Teams drastically reduce sprint velocity bottlenecks while eliminating manual layout coding across hundreds of pages.

Our vision is to become the universal UI transformation engine powering every web migration and enterprise rebrand globally.

Problem
  • When I lead a web migration project, I want to convert 50+ legacy pages into modern React components, but manually writing frontend code wastes over 180 developer hours and costs $25k in lost engineering velocity.
  • Why Now: Mass migration from legacy monoliths to modern React frontend stacks paired with vision model breakthroughs makes automated UI translation possible.
  • When I acquire a SaaS asset, I want to rebrand the UI instantly to match our company design tokens, but manual component refactoring takes 3 months of friction.
  • When I present interactive client prototypes, I want to convert static Figma screenshots into live web components, but static images fail to demonstrate real behavior costing us $50k in lost agency contracts.
  • Existing Alternatives: Manual frontend coding, hiring offshore development agencies, or using raw AI prompts that produce brittle inline styling without token structures.
Solution
  • High-Level Concept: Linear for enterprise UI extraction and codebase migration.
  • Automated Token Mapping: Scans screenshots or live URLs and maps visual styles to existing Figma or Tailwind design system tokens.
  • Interactive State Synthesis: Converts static UI images into responsive React components complete with hover states, modal triggers, and form validation hooks.
  • Git-Native Pull Requests: Automatically commits structured, accessible component code directly into existing GitHub enterprise repositories.
Distribution
  • Early Adopters: Agency founders and Head of Engineering at mid-market SaaS companies managing site rebrands or headless migrations.
  • Direct outreach to web development agencies handling Shopify Plus, Webflow, or headless React migrations.
  • Integration partnerships with Figma plugins and GitHub Marketplace app listings for automated code sync.
Pricing
  • Value Ladder: Free Tier (3 page exports)
  • Pro ($99/mo for 50 exports)
  • Enterprise ($899/mo for unlimited exports, design system token sync, and dedicated SAML).
  • One Metric That Matters (OMTM): Monthly Active Exported Components deployed to production repositories.
  • Market Sizing: 15k digital agencies and SaaS growth teams x $10k ARR target gives a Year 1 SOM of $15M.
Scale Costs
  • GPU computer vision clusters for high-precision UI structural parsing and OCR font matching.
  • Proprietary design system mapping models trained on clean WCAG compliant component repositories.
  • Enterprise security certifications including SOC2 Type II and GitHub OAuth token encryption infrastructure.
