You have the fast approach and the really fast approach.

1) Use libraries like ShadCn that give you all of the functionality that you need for the components. Use Tailwind or other frameworks, to change the styling of these components to fit your application theme. Using the components and theme, let Claude 3.7 design the apps for you, it is good enough to get you to pretty decent and custom pages that do (mostly) work. If there is a specific page that you don't like, then you can redesign it.

2) Do the designs in Figma, and then use Builder.io to convert the designs directly into code, use Cursor to fix anything that builder has broken.

Of course, the 2 methods above can be mix and matched, this is what I have personally used in both startups and more established company projects.
