ShipToWP

The mechanism

How the conversion works

Four steps, one upload, and a client who can edit their own site. Here is what happens at each stage.

The pipeline, stage by stage

  1. 01

    Export, then build if needed

    Download the code export from your AI builder. React builds (Lovable, v0, Bolt, Base44) ship source, so unzip it, run npm install and npm run build once, and zip the dist folder the build writes. Static exports from Framer, Claude or a plain folder of HTML upload as they are.

  2. 02

    We rebuild it as a WordPress theme

    Pages a framework only paints in the browser are rendered first, in your own tab, so the converter receives real markup instead of an empty React shell. Then each page becomes a real theme template. Styles are enqueued the WordPress way, content areas are structured so you can edit them later, and the layout is built from section blocks that stay compatible with page builders like Elementor.

  3. 03

    Preview before you download

    You get a live preview of the converted theme. No sign-up, and the preview does not expire while you decide.

  4. 04

    Install on your own host

    Download the theme zip, go to Appearance > Themes > Upload in any WordPress 6.x install, activate. Your site now lives in your dashboard, not on a builder subscription.

What arrives in your download

A standard WordPress theme folder. Example structure of a converted site:

my-client-site/
  style.css            Theme name, version, description
  functions.php        Enqueues, menus, editor support
  header.php           Shared site header
  footer.php           Shared site footer
  front-page.php       Homepage, assembled from sections
  page-about.php       One template per converted page
  sections/
    hero.php           Editable blocks, builder-friendly
    features.php
    cta.php

What moves over, and what does not

Moves over cleanly

  • Layout, typography, colors and spacing of every page
  • CSS and image assets, rewired to WordPress paths
  • Navigation structure, rebuilt as WordPress menus
  • Section boundaries, so blocks stay editable later

Needs a WordPress replacement

  • Builder-hosted forms, wired to a WP form plugin instead
  • Logins, databases and app logic: those stay in the builder
  • Carousels, tabs and scroll animations: the theme carries the rendered page, so the behaviour needs a plugin or plain CSS
  • Hosted analytics and SEO settings, reconnected in WordPress
