Advice on using a screenshot of navigation to design with

I am new to web design, and I am new to Figma, and I want to redesign a website. The website uses some template that I need to design within. The template consists of a logo, a banner and some navigation. I will be able to design what I need underneath this.

I want to take a screenshot of the top of this template to place into a Figma document, though I want the sizing to be accurate.

Please pardon my ignorance:

  1. What is the best way for me to get an accurate idea of the current resolution of the website? If I just take a screenshot of the header template isn't that just going to be based on the resolution settings on my display?

  2. Is there some way to view the source code to see the actual dimensions of the template content?

Thanks in advance

Reasons I don't like google's web design

Reasons I don't like google's web design

1) One of the most important buttons, to create a new notebook, in Google Notebooks, is hard to find, in the middle right, sandwiched.

2) The button to create a new project in Google Flow, is that translucent thing camouflaged near the bottom, very hard to find.

3) If I intended to move my mouse to click to open an email near the center I'm often blocked by this hover "Unsubscribe" button. Something similar just happened to me in Drive. This hover pattern thing is bad.

What do you think?

Feedback Thread

Our weekly thread is the place to solicit feedback for your creations. Requests for critiques or feedback outside of this thread are against our community guidelines. Additionally, please be sure that you're posting in good-faith. Attempting to circumvent self-promotion or commercial solicitation guidelines will result in a ban.

Feedback Requestors

Please use the following format:

Technologies Used:

Feedback Requested: (e.g. general, usability, code review, or specific element)

Comments:

Post your site along with your stack and technologies used and receive feedback from the community. Please refrain from just posting a link and instead give us a bit of a background about your creation.

Feel free to request general feedback or specify feedback in a certain area like user experience, usability, design, or code review.

Feedback Providers

  • Please post constructive feedback. Simply saying, "That's good" or "That's bad" is useless feedback. Explain why.
  • Consider providing concrete feedback about the problem rather than the solution. Saying, "get rid of red buttons" doesn't explain the problem. Saying "your site's success message being red makes me think it's an error" provides the problem. From there, suggest solutions.
  • Be specific. Vague feedback rarely helps.
  • Again, focus on why.
  • Always be respectful
