XD to Dreamweaver to WordPress

Theoretically, is it possible to create a simple, interactive presentation or guide in XD, transfer that to Dreamweaver, then transfer that to WordPress as a functioning "website"?

What I'm looking to do is create an interactive and shareable benefits guide - for instance "Click here to learn how to save money", or embed a video, scroll through this page or that, etc. Sort of like those Prezi presentations. What kind of skills would one need? Is using and connecting these three programs even possible?

    No.

    Unless you're a professional PHP coder that's modifying a WordPress Child Theme, Dreamweaver is not used in the process of creating a WP website.

    There's no automated process to move from one to the other.

    This is a Dreamweaver product forum, not a WordPress forum.

     

    I don't understand the problem. Why must you edit and upload images to your site a 2nd time?

    Yes, is possibile but you need to add at your process another tool ($80 but with lifetime free updates):

    "Pinegrow Theme Converter"

    XD -> Dreamweaver -> Pinegrow Theme Converter -> WordPress

    How do you get from XD to Dreamweaver without manually writing code?

    Darn. Do you have any other suggestions? Maybe creating the "slides" in Illustrator or InDesign, then transporting them to WordPress that way? I'm just trying to find the most logical route to use to create this guide.

    Theoretically you can do what you wish. Practically, it would take a very good working knowledge of html, css, js, wordpress and possibly php.

    Your first problem starts with XD, as there was no consideration made durring its development of it working with Dw. That means you would have to examine the code it produces then translate it to 'standard' html, css, js files, in order to use it in Dw. Then you would have to know how to 'plug' those files into working wordpress themes, (child or main).

    Having done that, a good working knowledge is required of the wordpress file structure in order to 'place' and link each file type correctly into the correct locations in wordpress.
