Import and Edit Websites as Templates

At a glance

The community members discuss the idea of being able to import any website into a builder and edit it. The original poster believes this could save time and spark new creativity, as it would allow them to use existing websites as templates. The comments suggest this is a popular idea, with some community members wondering if it would be more practical to import specific parts of a website rather than the entire page. Others express interest in the idea, noting it could provide unlimited templates and help beginners learn by playing. Some community members mention that tools like 10web.io and TidyCMS already offer this functionality.

What if we could just import any website into our builder and edit it? It could save us loads of time and spark new creativity.

I always go out and look for new designs for inspiration from sites like Dribbble and Awwwards. It would be nice to take static sites and use them as templates.

Why?
Saves Time: Import a website, edit, and done.
Super Simple: Easy editing for everyone.
Mix & Match: Combine old and new for cool designs.
Learn by Playing: Great for beginners since the tool is better suited for intermediate devs right now.

Vote if you like it, or tell me if I'm missing a way to do it.

Def. popular idea.
Q: wouldn't it be more practical to choose a specific part of some website you want to import?

Hmm, I'm not sure. You mean like the video in which you recreated the Apple menu? I think both are helpful.

I like seeing entire homepages recreated. That's good entertainment for me. I like the idea of importing web pages because it's like having unlimited templates without having to build them.

Even if I could import a web page and it have the proper layout in a wireframe, that could also be helpful.

I believe this will be possible with future updates. It might not be soon though.

Are you aware of any site builders that allow you to do this currently?

Yes, this one does it and converts it to a wordpress template. https://10web.io/ai-website-builder/

There are videos of it on YouTube.
