Create a Website With Claude, WordPress and Elementor
Build a complete, client-ready site by pairing Elementor with an AI assistant — from empty install to launch, nothing skipped.
About this build
This is the build I get asked about more than any other: what actually happens when you put an AI assistant next to Elementor and try to ship a real site with it.
We start from an empty WordPress install and finish with a live, client-ready website. Nothing is cut. The parts where the AI gets it wrong stay in, because knowing how to recover is most of the skill.
What you'll be able to do afterwards
- Set up WordPress and Elementor from scratch, correctly, the first time
- Brief an AI assistant so it returns layouts you can actually use
- Turn generated sections into a reusable design system with global styles
- Spot and fix the four things AI consistently gets wrong in page builders
- Launch the finished site on a real domain with SSL
Before you start
- A domain and hosting (any host — I show the settings that matter, not a specific panel)
- Elementor free is enough for most of this; I flag the two Pro-only moments
- No code, and no prior WordPress experience

Don't let it touch your global styles
The single fastest way to ruin an AI-assisted build is to let the assistant set colours and fonts per-section. Lock your global styles yourself, then ask for layouts only. Everything downstream stays consistent and editable.
