From drawing to code with an HTML design export
Draw a labelled layout in SketchMason, generate a UI design and export standalone HTML. Learn what the export includes and what still needs engineering.
Try SketchMason freeDraw the interface you want to communicate
Sketch a header, content regions and actions, then label them. Generate the visual design from that structure and review it beside the drawing. Refine the screen before treating it as a development reference.
Export the design as standalone HTML
The HTML export gives you a browser-readable design artifact. Open it to inspect the result or share it as a reference. It is useful for communicating layout and visual intent during a handoff.
Build the application behaviour separately
A design export is not a deployed application. Your engineering work still includes data, authentication, integrations, accessibility checks and testing. Use the design to agree on the interface before implementing those behaviours.
Frequently asked questions
- Does drawing to code mean a complete working application?
- No. SketchMason generates UI designs and exports standalone HTML. Application logic, data connections and deployment require separate engineering.
- Can I export React components?
- The supported export described here is standalone HTML, not a React component package.
- Can I share a written specification instead?
- Yes. Export a written design brief when a teammate needs the intent and layout decisions for implementation.
