How Does ZipWP Create Your Website

Building a website can be tricky, but ZipWP makes it easy. It takes care of all the technical stuff behind the scenes (including the AI) so you can have a website up and running in just one click.

Let’s see the exact steps ZipWP takes to build your website behind the scenes.

1. Instant WordPress Installation: With a single click, ZipWP installs WordPress, the powerful platform that forms the core of your website. This eliminates the need for technical knowledge or dealing with server configurations.
2. Powerful Theme & User-Friendly Editor: To provide a solid foundation for your website’s design and functionality, ZipWP equips your website with two essential tools:

• Astra Theme: This lightweight theme ensures your website loads quickly and looks amazing on any device, from desktops to smartphones.

Its clean code and customization options allow for further personalization down the line.

• Spectra Page Builder: This drag-and-drop editor provides an easy to use interface for building your website’s layout and adding content. You do not need to have coding experience.

You can simply drag, drop, and arrange elements to create the perfect website structure.

Now, you might think where the AI does its work.

ZipWP’s true power lies in its AI capabilities, which personalize your website and save you time.

3. Personalized Website Templates: Based on your input about your website’s purpose, industry, and desired style, ZipWP’s AI generates a selection of unique website templates.

These templates reflect your brand identity and ensure your website stands out from the crowd.

4. Smart Image Selection: Finding high-quality visuals that complement your website’s content can be a challenge.

ZipWP’s AI makes use of different AI models to showcase vast image libraries and suggests royalty-free stock photos.

These images perfectly match the tone and theme of your website.

5. AI-Written Website Copy: ZipWP’s AI model gets you started by writing the initial website copy for you. This includes headlines, body text, and calls to action, all tailored to your specific needs and target audience.

You can further customize and refine the content to perfectly match your brand voice.

6. Fine-Tuning with the AI Assistant: Your website’s initial draft is complete, but it’s just the beginning. The AI assistant in ZipWP allows you to:
   1. Refine AI-Generated Content: You can edit the headlines, body text, and calls to action written by the AI to perfectly match your brand voice and message.

Let us look into this with an example. Imagine you have a call to action with a long heading and you would like to make it shorter.

All you need to do is simply click on that heading and then click the “Ask AI” option.

This will open the AI Assistant chat in the right sidebar. Here, you input the requirement of your choice or can directly click on the “Make Shorter” command. Then AI will do its magic.

AI Assistant will showcase the shortened heading. In case you would like to keep the newly generated heading, you can simply click on the “Use This” option.

Then AI Assistant will automatically replace the previous heading with this shorter heading.

1. Explore Design Options: If you did not like the AI suggested template, you can explore different design options and personalize the website’s appearance using Spectra’s user-friendly interface.
2. Use AI Block Patterns: You can also make use of the Pre-designed content blocks powered by AI to save your time and to maintain a consistent style throughout your site.

Let us look into this with an example. Imagine you would like to insert a new call to action in the footer of your page.

All you have to do is simply go to that page, from the Spectra Patterns, select the layout of your choice and with a single click that pattern will be added to your page.

Then you can edit the text or images as per your requirement.

7. Website Launch: Once you’ve made your edits and are happy with the final output, you can go live with your website.

This way, ZipWP’s AI technology simplifies the website creation process. By leveraging AI for tasks like template generation, image selection, and initial content writing, ZipWP allows you to focus on what matters most.

For instance, let’s say you’re organizing a one-time event or workshop. You might not need a whole website just for registrations, especially considering the extra costs of hosting charges.

Building these websites from scratch can also be tough, especially when you’re focused on growing your business. Devoting time and resources to mastering website creation, design processes, and other intricate technical aspects may not be feasible for everyone. 

That’s where ZipWP comes in. ZipWP is an AI Website Builder that helps you create entire websites for your businesses with just a few clicks! Its user-friendly interface and intuitive AI Builder lets you create beautiful websites based on your business needs.

You can use these websites for testing product ideas, creating conversion-driven landing pages, showcasing portfolios, and more.

In this article, we’ll show you how easy it is to create your first website with ZipWP, highlight its key features, and guide you through migrating your first website to your own hosting provider.

Let’s get started!

What Is ZipWP?

ZipWP is an AI Website Builder that allows you to create professional-looking WordPress websites within seconds. 

You can just skip the usual process of creating, hosting, and managing multiple WordPress sites. ZipWP does that all for you.

There are two types of websites that you can create with ZipWP:

• Blank Websites: These are simple test websites perfect for everyday tasks like trying out themes, plugins, or features. Whether you’re experimenting with design elements or functionality, blank websites offer dummy pages and sample posts to simplify your testing process.

• Complete Websites: These are full-fledged websites featuring multiple pages tailored to match your business branding. The AI lets you design professional-looking websites complete with well-written descriptions, royalty-free images, social media branding, and more.

For example, if you’re a travel influencer with limited web development skills, you can easily use ZipWP to build a beautiful website to share your travel experiences and recommendations with your followers.

You can also modify these websites after they are created.  ZipWP provides many additional features that help you simplify the website-building process.

How to Sign Up With ZipWP?

Signing up with ZipWP is incredibly simple, and you don’t need a credit card to get started. Just follow these simple steps:

• Visit this page to sign up for your ZipWP account.

• Sign up either via Google or Email. If you choose Email, you need to enter your email address and verify it with the code sent to your inbox. 

• Select the pricing plan that suits you best. You can select the free plan to quickly get started with ZipWP. No credit card is needed.

You can always upgrade to a premium plan whenever you’re ready.

Creating Your First Website Using ZipWP

After creating an account, you’ll be directed to your ZipWP dashboard. You can explore a variety of options here. 

In this section, we will talk about creating your first website with your new ZipWP account! There are multiple easy ways to create your first WordPress website with ZipWP:

Creating WordPress Sites Via ZipWP Dashboard

• Click on the Create New button.

• You can either create a blank website or create a complete website. In this example, we will create a blank website.

• Name your website. Check this box optionally to create a multisite and build a network of WordPress websites. For now, let’s stick to creating a single WordPress website.

• Once the website is created, you’ll see a pop-up with its login credentials on your ZipWP dashboard. Click the One-click Login button to access your new website’s WordPress dashboard.

• Alternatively, you can access all of your websites in the All Sites section too.

Creating WordPress Sites Directly From Your Search Bar

The “try.new” command lets you create a new blank WordPress site using ZipWP. 

You just need to type try.new in your search bar and ZipWP will create a brand-new WordPress site for you.

The best part? You don’t need to have a ZipWP account to access this website. You can explore this website in guest mode and experiment with it as you like for about 30 minutes.

Creating WordPress Sites With Pre-Installed Plugins & Themes 

You can also create a website with plugins pre-installed on them. That way, you don’t need to manually install plugins and themes each time you create a new WordPress site.

You just need to visit the official WordPress plugins downloads page, search for the plugin you want, and replace the “wordpress” in its URL with “zipwp”. ZipWP will then create a new website with this plugin installed on it.

You can follow the same process for downloading WordPress themes on your website.

Check out this article to learn more about both of these methods.

Collaborating With Team Members

You can share your ZipWP sites with team members you choose to invite, allowing for easy collaboration with colleagues, clients, or anyone else you want to work with.

This is made possible through ZipWP Organizations. You can invite up to 10 members to join your ZipWP organization.

To invite team members to your organization, follow these steps:

• Navigate to your ZipWP dashboard.

• Click on this Invite Team Members button and enter the email addresses of the people you want to invite.

• Choose the roles that you want to assign to these team members. These roles decide the level of control each team member has over your ZipWP organization.

The invited team members will receive an email invitation with a link to your organization. You can learn more about managing these organizations here.

Note: Inviting team members is only available with our Business plan.

Migrating Your Website to Another Hosting Provider

ZipWP allows you to migrate any of its websites to a hosting provider of your choice.

For instance, let’s say you’re selling electronic gadgets online. Initially, you started with ZipWP for ease. But as your business grows, you want a custom website name. By moving to your own hosting provider, like “gadgetsrus.com,” you get a unique web address that matches your brand identity.

You only need the following prerequisites for this step:

• Any of the following WordPress migration plugins: All-in-One WP Migration plugin or MigrateGuru.
• Access to your hosting platform.

Once you have these, just follow the steps in this article or the above video.

This is just the beginning. With ZipWP, you can access a wealth of additional features, including website cloning, blueprints, built-in features, ZipWP projects, white-labeling options, and much more.

We also provide a detailed knowledge base with helpful guides, tutorials, and FAQs to support you throughout the process.

And if you encounter any difficulties or have questions, we’re here to help.

This feature is called Blueprints.

In this article, you will learn everything about Blueprints, including this feature and how to use it to share your copies.

Please note that this feature is available exclusively on the Pro and Business plans of ZipWP. If you’re on the free plan, you can upgrade to create Blueprints sites.

Why Would You Want To Share Your Site With Others?

Imagine you’re a YouTuber teaching people how to build various WordPress sites. In one of your videos, you use ZipWP to create and showcase a marketing website.

Now, you want to share this same website design with your followers so they can get the same WordPress site without designing from scratch.

This provides convenience for them and helps build your following.

So, you can use the Blueprints feature to get a URL that you can add to your YouTube video description so people can use this link to get a copy of your website in a different WordPress installation and customize it further.

This is one of the many reasons. 

You may want to share your website copies with your colleagues, as a part of your course offerings if you’re a course creator, or you can sell copies of your websites.

Types of Blueprints You Can Create

With ZipWP, you can customize blueprints with different settings to fit your needs. Let’s explore the blueprint types in more detail.

Private

These blueprints are for your personal use only. You can save websites you create as blueprints within your account. In the future, if you need to create a copy of the same site, you can easily do so from the blueprint.

Public

These blueprints are publicly shareable. If you want others to access a copy of your website, choose the public blueprint option. You will get a shareable link that you can distribute amongst other and they will get a copy of your website.

Product Demo

With product demos, you can define additional settings like site expiration time. You clarify whether people using your blueprint can make changes to the website or nor.

Note that every website copy will count towards your ZipWP account’s usage limit and will remain there until it expires.

How To Generate Blueprint Link for Your Website?

If you want to share your website with others, you can generate a Blueprint link to share with them.

To generate the Blueprint link, follow these steps:

• Click on the three-dot menu of the website that you want to share.
• Click on the “Create Blueprint” option.

• Provide a name and description for this Blueprint link. This name and description will be visible to people who view your website.
• Select a blueprint type (Private, Public, or Product Demo) and click Create.

• ZipWP will provide you with a link that you can share anywhere you wish.

You can open this link in your browser to preview how the name and description will appear.

When people click on this link, they will receive a fresh WordPress installation with your design.

If the person clicking your Blueprint link has a ZipWP account, they can connect the site to their account. If they’re on a free plan, they will have access to the site for 24 hours, while paid plans offer longer expiration times.

If they do not have a ZipWP account, they will have access to the site for the next 30 minutes. However, they can sign up for ZipWP for free and save the site for the next 24 hours.

Note: If you create a Blueprint of a temporary site, it will be automatically marked as permanent, as ZipWP requires your site to remain available in your account until your Blueprint link is present.

How To Track Your Blueprints Link Clicks

ZipWP also helps you track the number of times your Blueprint was copied. You can use these analytics to determine which of your Blueprints are used most.

You can find the analytics in your ZipWP account, in the Blueprints section.

How To Update Your Blueprint Sites

When you create a Blueprint for a site using ZipWP, ZipWP generates a backup of your site containing all your changes up to that point. Then, whenever someone uses your Blueprint link to create a new copy, ZipWP uses the saved backup to create their version of the site.

For example, while creating the blueprint, if you had 4 pages on the site, your Blueprint link will provide the site with 4 pages.

Now, if you add a 5th page to your website and want people to access the new version, you can update the Blueprint using the Regenerate option.

To update your blueprint, simply click on the Regenerate icon of the blueprint.

After clicking the regenerate button, try creating a new site using the Blueprint link. You’ll notice this new site includes all the latest changes.

You can Regenerate your Blueprints as many as times needed.

How To Disable Your Blueprint Links

If you wish to disable your Blueprint links for any reason so that people can no longer use them to create sites, you can simply disable them using the toggle switch.

Once the Blueprint is disabled, people will not be able to create websites from it.

You can enable the link anytime you need by turning on the toggle button.

How To Delete Your Blueprint Links

When you do not require a Blueprint anymore, you can delete it by clicking on the delete icon.

Once the site is deleted, people will no longer be able to use it.

You will also have the option to delete or remove the site permanently from your ZipWP account once its Blueprint is deleted.

So that’s all about Blueprints in ZipWP.

We hope this article helps you understand how you can share blueprints of your WordPress sites. We’ve tried to include as much information as possible, but if you still have questions, feel free to drop us a message.

When you create a website with ZipWP, it is marked as staging site by default if you have a paid ZipWP subscription.

This means that these sites will remain in your account until you choose to mark them as non-permanent.

When you unmark a website from being as staging site, it will be removed from your account after a while, and you will no longer be able to access it. 

Therefore, it is important for you to understand the lifecycle of your websites, including the expiration and deletion processes, so you can manage your sites efficiently.

This article will help you understand – when your sites expire, when you can restore expired sites, and whether you can recover a site after it has been deleted.

What Does “Site Expired” Mean?

If a site has expired, it implies that it was not marked as permanent and has reached the end of its lifespan. 

Expired sites are automatically archived, and you will not be able to access them anymore.

When Do Your Sites Expire?

Every website created on ZipWP has a predefined lifespan, after which it automatically expires unless explicitly marked as permanent.

The table below outlines the expiration timelines for different plans:

What To Do When A Site Expires?

After any of your sites expire, it stays in the “Archived” state for the next 3 days. 

It means that the site is still available on our servers, and you can restore it with a single click if you’re on our annual subscription plans.

This allows you to restore the website and mark it as permanent again, preventing it from automatically expiring in the future.

When Do Sites Get Permanently Deleted?

After a site expires, it enters an archived state, where it remains available for restoration for 3 days. Once this 3-day period elapses, the site is permanently deleted from our servers.

At this point, it is impossible to get the site back so we strongly suggest you mark all your important sites as permanent.

Hope you find this information helpful, and now you will be able to manage all your sites effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions:-

I accidentally deleted a site. Can I restore it back?

Unfortunately no. If you accidentally delete one of your sites using the delete option, it almost becomes impossible to restore it back.

This feature is called Zip AI.

In addition to personalizing the content on your website, ZipWP provides an AI assistant right in your WordPress editor. It can help you write headings, and descriptions, translate text into your language, obtain answers to any questions you may have without leaving WordPress, and more.

Now, all these features we’ve discussed are integrated into other WordPress products, mainly Starter Templates and Spectra.

And if you want to use these AI features, you need ZipWP AI credits.

In this article, we’ll understand more about these AI credits. We’ll see what these credits are, how they are calculated, and how many credits are consumed for different tasks.

Which WordPress Products Use ZipWP AI?

Mainly, three tools are powered by ZipWP AI. These tools are:

ZipWP: Creating Complete Sites With ZipWP AI

One of the primary uses of ZipWP AI is creating complete websites within ZipWP.

Note: Creating a complete website with ZipWP AI doesn’t consume AI credits from your account.

Starter Templates: Creating AI-Powered Personalized Pages & Sections

Starter Templates is a WordPress website template library that provides you with a variety of different website templates that you can import, customize, and take your website live in a few hours.

Now, Starter Templates have two types of templates – regular templates and AI templates.

Regular templates are simple, predesigned layouts with placeholder texts and images. You can replace these placeholders with relevant content and images before making your site live.

Whereas, AI templates are generated in real-time. The images and content added to the pages are personalized based on your input prompts using the power of ZipWP AI.

Now, if you want to create AI templates using Starter Templates, you will need to integrate the Starter Templates plugin installed on your site with your ZipWP account, which is super easy.

These AI templates will consume AI credits from your ZipWP account.

You can also access Starter Templates from Spectra’s Design Library, without having to install the Starter Templates plugin separately on your website.

Spectra: Using AI Chat Assistant

Spectra is a visual page builder that helps you design pages for your WordPress website, that works within WordPress’ native block editor.

With Spectra, you can use Zip AI assistant which is a chat assistant that you can use within the WordPress block editor.

To use the Zip AI assistant, you will need to connect your ZipWP account with Spectra. The Zip AI assistant also uses AI credits from your ZipWP account.

What Are ZipWP AI Credits & Where Are They Used?

In simple words, credits are like units that keep track of AI usage. This usage can be either on Starter Templates or Zip AI assistant in Spectra.

As mentioned above, ZipWP AI credits are consumed while using the following features.

• Creating personalized block patterns with Starter Templates.
• Creating personalized full pages with Starter Templates.
• Using Zip AI assistant with Spectra.

Now, let’s see how many credits are consumed for different uses.

How Are ZipWP AI Credits Calculated?

There are different amounts of credits required for different uses.

Let’s understand this in detail.

Generating One Word With AI Assistant

When you use Zip AI assistant to get any information or text, it consumes 1 credit for every word that’s generated in the response.

If you’re already using any templates from the Starter Templates library and want to personalize the site further, you can do that with ZipWP too.

Personalizing Only 1 Pattern/Block Category

If you want to personalize a specific block category, such as Headers, Heroes, or FAQs, go to the Patterns tab after clicking the “Design Library” button.

You’ll need 500 AI credits to personalize the patterns library on the right for your chosen category.

Select the section/block category you want to personalize and click the “Lightning bolt” icon.

Here’s how it all works:

As you can see, the content in the right-hand library was updated to complement your website content.

Personalizing the Entire Patterns/Blocks Library

Instead of personalizing just 1 block category, you can personalize the content and images from every block category from the Patterns tab.

This will consume 5000 AI Credits.

Click on the “Settings” icon and select Update AI:

Now, all content from every block category like Hero, Page Header, About, and more — will be personalized to match your brand.

Personalizing Only 1 Full Page Category

If you just want to personalize a particular page template category, like Home, About Us, or Services, you will need 1000 AI credits.

The process of personalizing a 1-page template is similar to personalizing single patterns above.

Go to the Pages tab and click this “star” icon beside your preferred page category.

This will personalize all the existing page templates from the right-hand side library.

Personalizing the Entire Full Page Library

You can also create full pages that are personalized to your needs with ZipWP AI. This will personalize all of the page content in all the page categories.

You can personalize this entire page library for 5000 AI credits.

The process is similar to personalizing the entire patterns library above.

To do this:

• Click on the “Settings” icon and select Update AI.

• Follow along all the steps until you reach the last prompt, then click the Personalize button.

The updated AI credits will be reflected here and in your ZipWP account.

How Do I Get ZipWP AI Credits?

When you sign up for ZipWP, you get 1000 AI credits/month with the free plan. When you feel like you need more credits, you can upgrade your ZipWP plans and get more credits.

In case you simply want to get more credits to be able to use ZipWP’s AI features with Spectra, you can purchase the credits separately from here.

That’s about ZipWP AI credits.

Hope you find this article helpful. If you still have any questions, please let us know.

Frequently Asked Questions:-

How many credits do I get as a user of the free version? What can I achieve with free credits?

As a warm welcome, we’re providing 1000 free credits to even users of the free plan. With 1000 credits, you can generate up to 1000 words, or personalize two categories of our templates library.

This should give you a glimpse of things you can achieve with our AI features. To experience the full power of AI and save valuable time while building your website, consider purchasing AI credits from here: https://app.zipwp.com/credits-pricing

If I have unused credits at the end of my subscription, can I roll them over to next year?

Any leftover and unused credits are automatically reset at the end of the billing period. Every year, or every month, based on the plan you have selected, you will get a new set of credits.

Let’s start with the basics.

What Is An Organization?

When you sign up for a ZipWP account, ZipWP automatically generates an organization for your account. The default name of your organization is your first name + team, but you can easily change the organization name later.

Billing occurs at an organizational level. This means that you can purchase paid plans for different organizations. For example, your Organization A can be on a Pro plan, and your Organization B can be on a Business plan based on your needs.

Additionally, while you can have multiple organizations on a paid plan, you can also maintain one free organization in your ZipWP account at all times.

You can also invite different people, such as clients and team members, to join your organization and help you in manage or see the sites you create, provided that your organization is on a Business plan.

How To Create An Organization

If you want to create a new organization, you can perform the steps mentioned below.

• Click on the Organization dropdown.

• Click on the Create New Organization button.

• Name your organization, and click on the Create button.

Your organization has been created!

Similarly, you can create multiple organizations and upgrade them to get access to premium features. While you can have paid organizations, you can also keep one free organization in your ZipWP account at all times.

How To Invite Team Members To An Organization

To invite a member to your organization, your organization must be on the Business plan. If your organization is not a Business plan, you can upgrade it and simply follow the steps below:

• Log in to your ZipWP account.
• Click on the Invite Your Team button on the dashboard.

• Click on the Invite Team Members button.

• Add the email addresses of the people you want to invite. You can invite multiple people at once.

• Choose the role you want to assign to the invitees. Each role has a different level of access to the features of your ZipWP organization. You can learn about the permissions here.

• Click on the Invite button.

That’s all you need to do from your end. Now, the invitees will receive an email invitation, and they can follow the instructions in the email to join your team.

How To Remove Team Members From An Organization

If you wish to remove a member from your organization, simply click on the Trash icon and confirm that you want to remove the member.

Once you do that, they will no longer be able to access any information within your ZipWP organization.

That brings us to the end of this article. Hope it helped you understand how you can manage organizations and team members in your ZipWP account.

This draft will include multiple pages such as the home page, contact page, services page, etc., with well-written content, and relevant images.

This fully personalized website created via ZipWP is called “Complete Website.”

We hope this article has helped you understand how to create a complete website for your business using ZipWP.

If you have any queries, feel free to reach out to us!

The language in which your sites are usually created is English.

However, with ZipWP, you can not only create sites in English but also in any other language you desire by simply changing the preferred language.

In this article, we’ll explain how to change the preferred language of your site so that you can create complete sites in the languages you want.

Changing Preferred Language for Creating AI Sites

To change the preferred language for creating AI sites, follow the steps below:

• Log in to your ZipWP account.
• Click on your profile picture and select My Account.

• Edit the Preferences.

• Select the language in which you want to create your sites. In our scenario, we’ll choose Portuguese.

• Click on the Save Changes button.

Once completed, all the AI sites you will create will have the ‘Preferred Language’ selected as your preference. However, if you want to change the language, you can simply change it in the first step of creating the website.

Please note that if your preferred language is ‘English,’ you may not see the option to change the language while creating the site because the ability to create sites in different languages is an experimental feature.

Therefore, we suggest you change the language for creating sites only if it is really necessary and review the texts on your website after it is generated.

We hope this article was helpful. If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us!

In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of migrating the website you created using ZipWP to your hosting platform.

We will illustrate this with an example.

Imagine that the website you created on ZipWP has the URL: websiteon.zipwp.com, and you are now ready to migrate this website to your hosting, which has the domain websiteonyourhosting.com.

To migrate the site from ZipWP to your hosting, you can simply follow the instructions provided in this document.

Prepare Your ZipWP Site Before Migrating

Before you proceed with the steps to migrate your website, you can prepare the following things in advance for convenience.

• Change Admin Password: Before starting the migration process, update the admin password of your ZipWP website. This password will be useful for logging in once the migration to your hosting is complete.
• Install All-in-One WP Migration Plugin on ZipWP Site: Ensure that you have the All-in-One WP Migration plugin (or any other migration plugin that you prefer) installed on the site where you have your ZipWP account. This plugin simplifies the migration process.

Pro Tip: The All-in-One WP Migration plugin is free to use and can assist you in migrating sites that are less than 64 MB in size. However, if your site exceeds 64 MB, you can use any other migration plugin, such as MigrateGuru, which does not have a website size limitation. The steps to migrate the website would be pretty much the same as they are for the All-in-One Migration plugin.

Prepare Your Hosting Before Migrating

• Install WordPress: Set up a new WordPress site by installing WordPress on your hosting platform. This step is essential as it provides the foundation for hosting your website.
• Install All-in-One WP Migration Plugin on New WordPress Installation: Once WordPress is installed on your hosting, add the All-in-One WP Migration plugin to your new WordPress setup. This ensures compatibility and a smooth migration process.

Once ready, you can begin the process of migration.

Migrating Your ZipWP Site To Your Hosting

Now that you’ve completed the preliminary tasks, follow the steps below to migrate your ZipWP site to your hosting:

• Open the All-in-One WP Migration plugin on your ZipWP site.
• Choose the Export option and save the website file.
