Wix to Wordpress - HELP

MehtaM · Nov 9, 2020

My friend made a website on Wix. Now I have to create it in Wordpress. I don't have much experience creating websites and facing problem imitating the exact design of Wix on Wordpress.

I am using Astra+Elementor.
It's a 5-6 pages website only.

I've watched a lot of Wordpress tutorials but still failing to imitate the same design.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

So, you took the job when you had no idea how to do it?

Also, you want us to do it for free for you?

My suggestion: go back to your friend and say you can't do it.

Or

Learn how to create exact designs from scratch.

I didn't ask anyone to do it for free. I was looking for guidance only.

Yeah, example I tried 2 methods to migrate from Wix to Wordpress and both methods result was messy.
I tried to create from scratch using Astra+Elementor.

When I apply global typography and color settings in theme the Elementor plugin doesn't accept it. Also Elemtor doesn't give me option to choose text font size by points in text field i.e I can choose sizes in "H1,H2,...H6, span, or p" only.

I think I might have missed some settings while setting up but can't figure out which.

Also Astra theme footer doesn't let me add address and social icons and when I do that with Elementor they don't appear on all pages.

I just deleted everything. I will start again from scratch.

Does it have to be Astra + Elementor? I dunno, but I think creating the theme from scratch would have made things easier (for example, using Underscores). Then it's pretty much straight forward. Create page templates for each of the pages, and add content for the template through wp admin. That's how I would do it.

People say theme is compulsary that's why I added Astra which is advised by many. I will check out Underscores.

Will that allow a blog page?
The website has 5 static pages which won't change a a blog page where weekly posts will be uploaded. Will Underscores support that?

Underscores is just a minimal theme for "hacking". It is not made for a child theme, but for direct modification. You modify the page templates from code, and you end up with exact design you want. This is how I used to do wp sites when I used to make sites with wp. I switched to better architectures after that.
