If you’ve built a website with Wix and want to move it to WordPress without rebuilding everything from scratch, this quick tutorial shows you exactly how to do it using AI.
In this video, I show you how to use PressMeGPT.com to convert a Wix.com website into a WordPress theme using AI so you do not have to rebuild everything manually.
What is Wix?
Wix is a popular drag-and-drop website builder that makes it easy for beginners to create polished websites without coding. It handles hosting, design tools, and templates all in one place. For many small businesses, creators, and startups, it is a fast way to launch.
But over time, many users want more flexibility, deeper customization, better SEO control, advanced integrations, or full ownership of their site. That is where WordPress becomes attractive.
WordPress powers a large portion of the web and offers unmatched control, scalability, plugin options, and hosting freedom. The downside is that migrating from Wix to WordPress traditionally means manually recreating your layout, sections, styling, and structure from scratch.
Here is the exact process I walk through.
How to copy a Wix website design to a WordPress Theme
First, visit PressMeGPT.com.
Create a free account or sign in if you already have one. After signing up, validate your email so you can access the dashboard.
Once inside, click New Project and choose the option From Website.
Paste in the full URL of the Wix site you want to convert.
PressMeGPT will analyze the layout, design hierarchy, spacing, content structure, and visual styling of that live site. You can also enter additional instructions such as layout adjustments, branding updates, font changes, color tweaks, or structural preferences.
Then click Generate Theme.
The AI will create a WordPress-ready theme based on the structure and design of your Wix website. Instead of copying sections manually or trying to match spacing and typography by eye, the system handles the heavy lifting for you.
After the theme is generated, you can refine it further using simple prompts. If you want to change a hero section, adjust column layouts, modify calls to action, or rewrite placeholder text, just describe the change. The theme updates accordingly.
When you are happy with the result, export the theme.
You will receive a downloadable WordPress theme file.
To install it in WordPress:
Go to your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to Appearance and then Themes.
Click Upload Theme.
Click Browse and select the downloaded theme file.
Choose Live Preview to review it, or click Activate to make it live.
That is it.
You have now converted a Wix website into a fully functional WordPress theme using AI.
This workflow is ideal for business owners who started on Wix but want more control, agencies migrating client sites, freelancers speeding up WordPress builds, and marketers who need plugin access and advanced SEO capabilities.
Caveats
Keep in mind that platform-specific Wix features such as proprietary apps or backend tools may need to be replaced with WordPress plugins after migration. But from a design and layout perspective, this process dramatically reduces the time it takes to switch platforms.
If you have been stuck choosing between the simplicity of Wix and the power of WordPress, this method gives you both.
Design quickly.
Convert intelligently.
