Lovable to WordPress
Built it on Lovable? Own it on WordPress.
Lovable is brilliant for prototyping fast. MakeMerge is how you graduate — same design, real WordPress CMS, your hosting, your plugins, and a free React export. The full Lovable to WordPress path in one afternoon.
Why make the move
Lovable to WordPress: when your project needs to grow up
Prototypes are perfect for validating ideas. Production sites need a CMS your team can edit, SEO that search engines read, WooCommerce when you're ready to sell, and hosting you choose. That's what the Lovable to WordPress move unlocks.
- Full WordPress CMS — edit text and images without code
- SEO titles, descriptions, and alt text carried across
- WooCommerce support when you need a shop
- Host on any WordPress provider you trust
What comes across
Your Lovable design doesn't get flattened into a static page. It becomes a living WordPress site.
Import from your live URL
Paste your Lovable project URL. We capture pages — including content behind tabs and pop-ups — as an editable starting point.
Fully editable in WordPress
Headlines, body copy, images, and sections stay editable after import. Your team updates content without touching code.
SEO metadata included
Page titles, meta descriptions, and image alt text travel with the design so you don't start SEO from scratch.
Menus and site chrome
Header, footer, and navigation structure come across — not just isolated page content.
WooCommerce ready
Add products and a shop when the business is ready. Your Lovable marketing site becomes a commerce platform.
Free React export
Download clean React code or push to GitHub — yours to host on Vercel, Netlify, or anywhere. No extra fee.

Lovable to WordPress workflow
Three steps from prototype to owned site
Import your Lovable project, refine anything that needs adjusting, and push to WordPress as editable content. The Lovable to WordPress path takes an afternoon — not a rewrite.
- Import via your live Lovable URL
- Refine in the MakeMerge builder
- Push to WordPress — draft by default, live when ready
Lovable to WordPress — common questions
Everything founders and teams ask before making the move.
No. Point MakeMerge at your live Lovable URL and we capture the pages — layout, copy, images, and structure — as an editable rebuild. You can also export React from MakeMerge for free if you want the codebase.
Yes. The WordPress site matches your Lovable design. Sections, typography, spacing, and imagery carry across so visitors see the same site — just on a platform you fully own.
Once you move to WordPress, that's your live site and CMS. You can keep experimenting in Lovable separately, but ongoing edits happen in WordPress — where you have plugins, SEO tools, WooCommerce, and hosting freedom.
