How to Import AI Kits in WDesignKit

On this page

Describe your website in one line, pick an AI-compatible kit, answer a few quick questions, and WDesignKit builds the site for you. You can build on a temporary sandbox site first, or send the kit straight to your own WordPress site.

What You Need

A WDesignKit account (free to start)

Your own WordPress site, if you want to import to an existing site. A sandbox needs no site.

Elementor or Gutenberg as your builder

Watch the new flow (40 sec):

Step 1: Describe Your Website

Open wdesignkit.com.
In the prompt box (“Describe It. AI Builds It for You.“), type a one-line description of your site. Example: A website for a dental clinic.
You can also tap a quick-start chip such as Agency, Business, Portfolio, Blog, WooCommerce, SaaS or Food & Drink.
Use the builder dropdown at the bottom-left of the box to choose Elementor or Gutenberg.
Click Generate template (the send arrow at the bottom-right of the box).

WDesignKit prompt box with the text A website for a dental clinic, the Elementor and Gutenberg builder dropdown open, and quick-start chips below it — Describe your site in the prompt box and pick Elementor or Gutenberg

Kits shown depend on the builder you pick.

Step 2: Pick An AI-Compatible Kit

After you submit, you land on the AI page. The right panel lists only AI-compatible kits for your builder (for example, 10 kits for Elementor), each with an AI Compatible badge. Kits are marked Free or PRO.

Hover over a kit.
Click Use this template to continue, or Preview to see it first.

AI-Compatible Templates page listing 10 Elementor kits, each with an AI Compatible badge and some marked PRO — AI-compatible template kits

Hovering over a kit shows the Use this template and Preview buttons — Hover a kit and click Use this template

Clicking Change on the “Your template” card lets you swap kits at any time.

Prefer to browse? Go to Templates → Browse Templates and turn on the AI Compatible filter. You can also filter by Page Builder, Free/Pro, Template Type and Category (Agency, WooCommerce, Portfolio, Blog, Corporate, Educational and more).

If you are not logged in, the button reads Sign Up & Build This Site. Create your free account and the flow continues from here.

Step 3: Answer A Few Quick Questions

A chat panel opens next to the live kit preview. The AI asks for your site details one at a time, in this order:

#	Question	Notes
1	Business name
2	Logo	Upload one, or skip
3	Site type
4	Description	What your site or business does. Stuck? Tap Write with AI.
5	Language	Skip to use English
6	Address	Optional
7	Email	Optional
8	Phone	Optional
9	Social links	Optional
10	Use the image library?	Yes or No (see below)
11	Generate AI blog posts?	Yes or No

The AI chat asks a few quick questions next to the kit preview

Skip anything you don’t need. The AI writes the page copy (and blog posts, and WooCommerce products where the kit has them) from your answers.

Image library: Yes or No

Yes: you pick photos from the image library, and the site is filled with real images.
No: the site is built with grey placeholder images that you can replace later.

Image library panel with a search box and a grid of photos to choose from — Search the image library and pick photos for your site

Step 4: Choose Colours And Fonts

The panel opens with the kit’s own colours and fonts. Change any of them, or leave them as the designer set them.

Pick a colour palette.
Pick your fonts.
Click Continue.

Colour palette grid and fonts dropdown for choosing the look of the site — Choose a colour palette and fonts

These set your site’s global colours and typography.

Step 5: Choose What Your Site Needs

A dialog lets you switch on the extras you want. Options are grouped as:

Design (built in, so there is no toggle)
eCommerce
Dynamic Content
Performance
Security
Extras
Nexter Theme (marked Recommended for best compatibility)

Then:

Turn on the toggles you want.
Read the backup notice and tick I’ve read this and want to continue. Next stays disabled until you do.
Click Next.

WDesignKit installs and activates the plugins needed for the options you choose.

Step 6: Choose Where To Build

The last dialog is Where Do You Want to Build?

Option	What it does	Available for
Create a sandbox site	Builds a temporary test site, no WordPress install needed	Free kits only
Import to my existing site	Sends the kit to a WordPress site you have connected	Free and Pro kits

Where Do You Want to Build dialog with the options Import to my existing site and Create a sandbox site — Where Do You Want to Build: sandbox or existing site

Setting Up Your Sandbox dialog with a progress spinner while the temporary site is created — Setting up the sandbox

About sandbox sites

A sandbox is temporary and expires after about 2 days.
Each sandbox uses one of your AI Sites.
Good for trying a kit before touching your live site.

Importing to an existing site

Make sure the site is connected to your WDesignKit account.
Take a backup first. The import changes your site’s pages, theme and settings.

Closing the last dialog without choosing an option does not build anything.

Step 7: Watch The Build

The import runs on WDesignKit’s server, with live progress shown on screen.

Required plugins are installed and activated for you.
Global settings, theme settings, plugin settings and page layouts are imported.
Copy, images and blog posts are filled in from your answers.
The import runs in resumable steps. A slow host or a closed browser tab will not leave you with a half-built site.

A sandbox build usually takes a few minutes. The progress screen may show a shorter estimate, so give it time.

Step 8: Preview And Customise

When the build finishes you will see a success message. For a sandbox it is titled Your Sandbox Site Is Ready and shows the Site link, Username, Password (use the eye icon to reveal it) and an Expires date and time.

Click View site (or Preview Site after an existing-site import) to open your new site. Click Log in to sandbox to open the WordPress admin.
Open it in Elementor or Gutenberg and start editing.
Replace any placeholder text or images.
Check the navigation menu, so the new pages show where you want them.

Your Sandbox Site Is Ready dialog with the site link, username, password, expiry time, and the View site and Log in to sandbox buttons — Your sandbox site is ready

Tips

Write a specific one-line description. “A website for a family dental clinic in Pune” gives better copy than “A health website.”
Choose Yes on the image library if you want a site that looks finished straight away.
Use Write with AI if you are unsure what to say about your business.
Pro kits import to a connected site only. To try a kit in a sandbox, choose a Free one.
Importing into a site that already has content? Back up first and expect existing homepage and layout changes.

Troubleshooting

Problem	What To Do
No AI kits appear	Check you picked the right builder. The list is filtered by Elementor or Gutenberg.
The sandbox option is missing	You chose a Pro kit. Pick a Free kit, or import to your connected site.
The sandbox build is slow	Wait a few minutes. The server keeps working even if you close the tab.
Images look grey	You answered No to the image library. Replace them in the editor or rebuild with Yes.
A plugin did not install	Make sure your site can install plugins, then retry the import.
