Claude to WordPress: turn a Claude-built site into a WordPress theme

Claude is great for shipping a working webpage fast. What it doesn't do is host it on WordPress. Themify closes that gap: point it at your Claude-generated site and get a real WordPress theme, without touching PHP.

Claude ships production-quality webpages. The bottleneck is what comes after: your client runs on WordPress, and you don't want to rebuild the design inside a page builder. Themify takes the site Claude built and packages it as a WordPress theme .zip.

Steps to convert a Claude site to WordPress

  1. Open the Claude Artifact, deployed URL, or local preview in Chrome.
  2. Click the Themify extension icon.
  3. Press Generate theme — capture happens locally in the browser.
  4. Upload the resulting .zip in Appearance → Themes → Add New.

Why Themify fits AI-generated sites

AI builders emit modern HTML/CSS/JS with Tailwind, custom fonts, and animation libraries. Traditional "HTML to WordPress" services choke on that stack. Themify captures the fully rendered DOM, so what you see in Claude is what lands in WordPress.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with Claude Artifacts and Claude Code output?
Yes. Anything Claude generates that you can open as a live webpage — Artifacts, a deployed Claude Code project, or a downloaded HTML/CSS/JS bundle you're previewing locally — can be converted.
Do I need to deploy the Claude site first?
You need the page to render somewhere Chrome can open it. That can be a deployed URL, a Claude Artifact, or a local preview (localhost) — Themify captures whatever the browser sees.
Are animations and interactions preserved?
Yes. Themify bundles the JavaScript and CSS the page actually uses, so scroll effects, hover states and micro-interactions carry over into the WordPress theme.
