How to Copy Any Website in Minutes

Cloning a website might sound complicated, but with the right tools, it’s easier than ever. This guide will show you how to use Figma and Elementor to recreate any web design quickly and efficiently. Best of all, you won’t spend a dime.

Step 1: Install the Web2Figma Chrome Extension

  1. Open Chrome and Search for “Web2Figma”:
    • Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for the Web2Figma extension.
    • Click “Add to Chrome” and wait for the installation to complete.
    • Pin the extension to your toolbar for easy access.
  2. Prepare Your Figma Workspace:
    • Log in to your Figma account.
    • Create a new file and name it (e.g., “Hero Section Clone”).
    • This file will store the imported webpage design.
  3. Capture the Webpage:
    • Use the Web2Figma extension to import the desired webpage. You can choose a specific section or the entire page.
    • Save the imported design to your Figma file.

Step 2: Refine the Design in Figma

  1. Open the Imported File in Figma:
    • Navigate to the file created earlier.
    • Review the imported sections for accuracy.
  2. Tweak Backgrounds and Alignments:
    • Check the background images and overlays. Resize and adjust them if necessary.
    • Fix any misaligned elements caused by animations or complex structures on the original site.
  3. Optimize for Light Theme:
    • Switch to the light theme for better compatibility with Elementor.

Step 3: Convert the Figma Design to Elementor

  1. Install the UI Chimy Plugin:
    • Visit the UI Chimy website and sign up for a free account.
    • Download the WordPress plugin and copy the activation key.
  2. Activate the Plugin on WordPress:
    • Go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Plugins, and install the UI Chimy plugin.
    • Paste the activation key to enable the plugin.
  3. Export Design from Figma:
    • Use the Express Copy option in UI Chimy to export the Figma design as a JSON file.
  4. Import JSON into Elementor:
    • Open a new page in WordPress using Elementor.
    • Paste the JSON code by pressing CTRL+V.
    • The imported design will appear in Elementor.

Step 4: Final Adjustments and Publishing

  1. Fix Any Misalignments:
    • Some elements might be positioned absolutely; change them to default positioning if needed.
    • Adjust spacing, margins, and overflow settings for a polished look.
  2. Add Animations:
    • In Elementor, use motion effects to add animations like fade-in or slide-in for a dynamic feel.
  3. Publish Your Page:
    • Save and preview your design.
    • Once satisfied, publish the page and share your work!

Bonus Tips

  • Use the Optimize and Copy option in UI Chimy for more control over exported designs.
  • Keep track of your free export limits (10 per month for UI Chimy) to plan your projects efficiently.
  • Experiment with different templates in UI Chimy for faster results.
