Meet Skafold.
Skafold is a live product I built for the messy early part of web projects: getting ideas out of your head, into a layout, and into shape before design or development gets expensive.
It is built around the way real web work happens. Move quickly, keep the structure clear, send it to Figma or AI when it helps, and give the build a better starting point.
Product
A real thing in the world
Skafold has users, pricing, trials, exports, a Figma plugin, and a changelog. It is not a polished mockup pretending to be a product.
Clarity
Less staring at a blank page
Start with the common pieces of a website, then shape the details. It gets the first useful version on screen faster.
Movement
Easy to take somewhere else
Send the structure into Figma, pass it to AI, or use it to brief the build. The idea does not get trapped in one tool.
Capability
This is how I like to build
Clear shape first, useful defaults, fast feedback, and fewer fragile jumps between planning, design, and development.
The bit before the build matters.
01
Rough it out
Get the pages and sections out quickly, while changes are still cheap.
02
Find the shape
Use familiar website blocks to turn a loose idea into something you can discuss.
03
Move it on
Take the structure into Figma, AI, or a build brief without starting again.
04
Build with less fog
Start development with clearer scope, fewer assumptions, and a better shared picture.
