# (REALLY) Build a WordPress Website with Claude in 2026

**[YouTube](https://daily.dev/sources/youtube)** · 34 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A step-by-step walkthrough for building a WordPress website using Claude AI as the design engine. The workflow involves prompting Claude desktop to generate a multi-page HTML website, then importing it into WordPress via the Elementor page builder using an MCP-connected plugin called Novamira. Key steps include setting up Hostinger hosting, installing Astra theme, Elementor, WPForms, and XPro plugins, configuring Elementor settings (disabling Atomic editor, enabling flexbox containers), and using Claude to convert the HTML design into native Elementor elements. Common issues like missing headers/footers and flexbox wrapping problems are addressed with follow-up prompts to Claude.
