The Beta version of W2D marked the first major step toward automating website-to-design conversion. While the initial version laid the foundation, it was still in the early stages of development, and some features were not fully polished. Below are the details of what was introduced in the W2D Beta.
Website-to-Design Conversion W2D Beta offered the initial ability to convert websites into editable designs for Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD. This version was the foundation for converting complex HTML structures into editable components.
Conversion Accuracy:
Conversion accuracy was still improving but gave users a functional starting point. The tool managed basic layouts and styles but struggled with more intricate designs, which we acknowledged and addressed in future updates.

Dark Mode & Light Mode To enhance the user experience, we introduced both Dark and Light Mode themes, letting users work in their preferred interface style.
Screenshot Tip:
Include images of the interface in both Dark and Light modes to show the difference between the two.
Three Default Screen Sizes The Beta supported conversion into three screen sizes: Mobile, Tablet, and Desktop. This was essential for creating responsive designs, although more screen sizes were planned for future updates.

Free Import Limit We provided users with 20 free imports per month to test out the tool. This was aimed at gathering user feedback to refine the conversion process.
Screenshot Tip:
Include a preview of the "Import" button with the counter displaying the remaining free imports.
Conversion wasn’t fully accurate for highly complex designs (e.g., heavily customized websites).
Advanced layouts and certain dynamic content weren’t perfectly handled in this version.
The tool was still evolving, but early adopters played a huge role in helping us identify areas for improvement.
