Question

Import Websites/Wordpress into XD (rather than the other way around)

Hi there, I'm looking for the best way to import an existing Wordpress website (or rather, its main pages/visual design) into XD to be able to prototype and forward those prototypes afterwards. Usually people try and take the other route, which makes searching for the topic online almost impossible. Any ideas on how to best go about this?

I obviously know that I could "start from scratch" in XD but this is going to be very timeconsuming obviously, especially since I don't work with XD regularly. Help is much appreciated!

    Hi there,

     

    Thank you for reaching out. You may try converting your webpage into a PDF format. Open the PDF in Adobe Illustrator and then copy paste into XD. It might be tedious process but you can give it a try. 

     

     

    I am also keeping the discussion open for our experts as well for any other suggestion.

     

    Thanks,

    Harshika

    That is about as good of solution that I know of. When I want to explore a new visual design of an existing website, I just have it open in my browser and manual recreate the elements. The one bonus is, I can group elements together in more 'logical' collections based on what I might be exploring.
