Introduction: Your SaaS Website, Live on Your Own Domain
You've created your website with Figma Sites, designed your pricing page, and prepared your visuals—now it's time to go live.
Connecting your custom domain is the final step in launching your reseller brand. This turns your Figma Site into a real, trustworthy website that local business owners can visit, explore, and sign up from.
Instead of a Figma-branded URL, you’ll have a fully white-labeled web address like:
www.boostlocals.com
www.reputationpilot.com
www.mylocalgrowth.comThis guide will walk you through how to point your purchased domain (from Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.) to your new Figma Site.
Step 1: Publish Your Website on Figma Sites
Before you connect your domain, make sure your Figma Site is published.
Go to figma.com/site
Open your website project
Click “Publish” in the top-right corner
Choose the Free Plan (unless you’ve upgraded)
Figma will generate a temporary figma.site domain (e.g., yourbrand.figma.site)
This confirms your site is live and ready to be connected to your real domain.
Step 2: Open the Domain Settings in Figma
Once your site is published:
Click “Settings” inside your Figma Site project
Scroll to the section called “Connect a Custom Domain”
Click “Connect your own domain”
Enter your domain (e.g., www.boostlocals.com)
Click Continue
Figma will now give you a set of DNS instructions, including:
CNAME record for www
(Sometimes) an A record or a redirect for the root domain
Keep this tab open—you’ll need it in the next step.
Step 3: Log Into Your Domain Registrar
Go to the site where you purchased your domain—such as:
Log into your account and find the DNS Settings for your domain.
This is usually under something like:
“Manage Domain” → “DNS Settings” or “Advanced DNS”
You’ll see a list of DNS records: A, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.
Step 4: Add the Required DNS Records
Follow the exact instructions provided by Figma. These usually include:
1. CNAME Record
Name: www
Type: CNAME
Value: Figma's DNS target (e.g., custom-domains.figma.site)
TTL: Leave default (or set to 3600 if needed)
2. A Record or Redirect (Optional)
If you want your domain to work with or without www (e.g., both boostlocals.com and www.boostlocals.com), you may need to:
Add an A Record pointing @ to Figma’s IP address (if provided)
Or set up a redirect from root (boostlocals.com) to www.boostlocals.com
Check Figma’s instructions on this screen for exact IPs or guidance.
Step 5: Wait for DNS Propagation
After saving the new records:
It may take anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours for DNS changes to fully propagate
You can use whatsmydns.net to check the status of your CNAME record
Once DNS is active, your Figma site will automatically load when people visit your domain!
Troubleshooting Tips
Error: Domain not verified? Double-check you’ve copied the exact CNAME record from Figma, and that you saved the record in your registrar.
Still not live after 2+ hours? Clear your browser cache or try from a different device.
Want to test the Figma site without a domain? Use the temporary figma.site link until your DNS is active.
