What Is ZipWP?

ZipWP is an AI-powered website builder specifically designed for WordPress.

ZipWP generates professional, SEO-friendly WordPress sites in seconds using AI!

Simply tell the AI what type of website you want, add a few details about your business and it will take care of the rest.

The AI will build your website, add essential pages, create content, insert images and deliver a fully working site in under a minute!

Your new website is built with the Astra theme and the Spectra page builder, giving you a solid foundation for a professional-looking site.

Because the site is designed with optimization in mind, it’s extremely snappy by default.

There are two ways you can create websites with ZipWP:

• Blank websites where you get the perfect environment to create a website from scratch and test different themes, templates and plugins.
• Start with AI which creates multiple pages tailored to match your business. They come complete with AI-generated content and design depending on the prompt you provide.

With the Chrome extension, you get an additional level of convenience. The option to automatically convert your LinkedIn profile into a fully working website!

Who Benefits Most From the ZipWP Chrome Extension?

So who will actually use this feature?

They need a website, they need a social presence and they need to do all this while managing deadlines and delivering the work they promised with the highest quality standards.

Digital agencies constantly have to balance quality and efficiency. Client deadlines loom large while resources remain finite.

LinkedIn to WordPress Website Step by Step

Alright, enough talk. Here’s everything you need to know to get started with ZipWP and convert your LinkedIn profile to a website

Step 1: Install the ZipWP Chrome Extension

Using ZipWP requires just a few simple steps:

Visit the Chrome Web Store and search for “ZipWP” or navigate directly to the ZipWP extension page.

Then, click Add to Chrome and confirm the installation when prompted.

Pin the extension to your Chrome toolbar for easy access.

Click the ZipWP icon and log in with your account credentials (or sign up for free).

The extension gives you quick access to ZipWP’s website creation tools directly from your browser.

Step 2: Prep Your LinkedIn Profile

Before you begin, you’ll want to make sure your LinkedIn profile is completely optimized with all the required information.

We need good raw material to shape your website’s structure and content.

Key profile elements to update:

• Professional headline: Will become a prominent website headline
• About section: Forms the basis of your “About” page
• Work experience: Creates service offerings or portfolio items
• Projects and skills: Highlights your unique value proposition
• Profile and banner images: Provides visual elements for your website
• Recommendations: Becomes social proof on your site

Update your profile so it’s completely up to date and tells your story in the best way it can.

Note the new Create Website using ZipWP button visible on your profile. That’s the magic button.

Step 3: Convert Your Profile Into a Website

Once you’re happy with your LinkedIn profile, hit the Create Website using ZipWP button.

The extension now reads your LinkedIn profile, your profile picture, and your banner and uses it to create a personalized website.

You’ll then be taken to the ZipWP web page builder where the information is already filled out and editable if required.

All you’ll have to hit is Next.

You’re now ready to start building your website!

Step 4: Customization

ZipWP has already fetched a lot of information from your LinkedIn profile, but you have the ability to customize the content and add more context if you need to.

Take the time to perfect this description so you don’t need to make too many content edits later on.

You will now be asked to enter the contact information. All the data here is optional and you can choose to add or remove information as required.

Now we need to pick images.

ZipWP will make things easy by looking up stock images based on keywords it finds in your profile.

It will present them on the next screen so you can select them.

You can also upload your own images to make your website feel more personal.

Once you’re done with image selection, click next and you will be taken to the design page.

ZipWP shows you a range of layouts and designs, depending on the niche keywords in your LinkedIn profile.

There are free templates and some premium templates. Scroll through them and pick one that you like best.

Remember that you can change everything about the template once the website is ready.

If you don’t like the layout of a specific page, or the placement of some content (maybe the about page talks about achievements you don’t think are relevant), you can easily replace it.

As ZipWP works with Astra, Spectra, CartFlows and other plugins in the Brainstorm Force ecosystem, you can add as many extra features as you like once your site has been published.

That includes eCommerce, a blog, page builder, appointment bookings, a live chat widget and much more.

Click the Start Building button when you’re ready and let ZipWP work its magic.

Your website will be ready within 1-2 minutes at most depending on how much content you had on your LinkedIn page.

Congratulations, you now have a brand new website created from your LinkedIn profile!

After logging into your new website, you’ll be taken to the WordPress dashboard where you can:

• Modify layouts, colors, and design elements using Spectra’s drag and drop interface
• Add or remove pages based on your specific needs
• Enhance content with detailed service descriptions or case studies
• Upload additional media such as more images or videos
• Install WordPress plugins for specialized functionality
• Customize navigation menus for improved user experience
• Optimize for mobile devices

From this moment on, you’re working with a standard WordPress website, with all the freedom and flexibility that comes with it!

Step 5: Publish and Share Your Website

Take the time to review the website, see the content, see the images and test out some of the features and customize it according to your needs.

Once you are satisfied, you need to migrate your website from the ZipWP hosting to your personal hosting.

For that you will need a personal hosting plan to migrate the website to.

Don’t worry, it’s easier than it sounds!

We created a video to walk you through the process. You can find it by clicking on the Move to Host option at the top of the page.

Follow the steps in the video and you should be ready to welcome visitors.

FAQs

How much does ZipWP cost?

ZipWP has a free tier and two premium plans. The free version allows you to create 2 temporary websites that remain active until you’re logged into the platform (and for 30 minutes after you log out). The premium plans do provide permanent staging websites, however, since we aren’t a hosting company (yet), we’d recommend you move your website to another host once you’re ready.

Do I need coding knowledge to use ZipWP?

No, you don’t. ZipWP requires absolutely no coding knowledge or technical expertise. The AI handles all technical aspects and the intuitive interface allows for easy customization through a visual editor. You’ll never need to write HTML, CSS, or any other code to create a professional website with ZipWP.

Can I edit my website after it’s been created?

Yes you can. Your ZipWP-created website functions as a fully editable WordPress site. Access the familiar WordPress dashboard to make changes anytime. Use Spectra, Elementor, or the WordPress block editor for customization depending on your preference. All standard WordPress editing tools remain available for ongoing updates and changes.

Will my website look exactly like my LinkedIn profile?

No, it won’t look exactly like it. It will look better! ZipWP doesn’t simply clone your LinkedIn profile’s appearance. Instead, ZipWP creates a website based on the content of your LinkedIn profile and the industry that you work in.

The system maintains your professional identity while transforming the information into a more comprehensive website format. Your content remains consistent while gaining an enhanced presentation.

Can I migrate my ZipWP website to my own hosting?

Yes, you can migrate your website. ZipWP allows complete website migration to your preferred hosting provider. Transfer your site for long-term use on any standard WordPress hosting service.

The migration process preserves all content, design elements, and functionality. Your website will continue working exactly as designed regardless of where it’s hosted.

What happens if I update my LinkedIn profile after creating a website?

Changes to your LinkedIn profile after website creation don’t automatically update on your website. You’ll need to manually update your website content to reflect LinkedIn changes.

Alternatively, run the conversion process again for major LinkedIn profile updates. ZipWP can generate a fresh website based on your revised profile information when necessary.

Can I use ZipWP for eCommerce websites?

Yes you can use ZipWP to create eCommerce websites. ZipWP supports eCommerce functionality through WordPress plugins. Install WooCommerce or other eCommerce solutions after initial site creation.

LinkedIn conversion works best for professional/portfolio websites. You can add eCommerce capabilities during or after the customization phase though.
