I’ve been helping a friend who was using website builder. They had a free version for a certain amount of time then it had expired they were trying to figure out how to export it but it seemed that was the only feature it lacked but granted who would make free website builder to only to allow you to extract the raw html data just so you can go off and build it off the code? I could be wrong it could be a feature they just didn’t think about.
I used AI to build page extractor with full permission from the owner of the site I was able to get full html, css, js files. (I won’t give this out here since you can get it generated your self using ai)
After extracting raw html I found few errors and random numbers showing on menu as well as some features stopped workeding which this was to be expected. This really had gotten me to put my thinking cap on when digging through this raw code to fix these issues.
- Random numbers showing up on menus – I found it was apart of the css code actually which was quite intresting and figured out 2 ways to get rid of the numbers. the second way was just typing in the odd number find it in the code then removing it
- Jibberish code that doesn’t make much sense this is something I’m rusty one but so far I’ve been able to fix it wor come up with a work around that works.
Future plans for my friends site.
- Fix the current code or build make custom wordpress layout something I haven’t done just yet. I started to work on wordpress layout which I’ve had little luck so I dropped that moved toward the html part of the site since I’ve had more luck.
- We did end up moving to wordpress to make things alot more easier. just had to add all the content from his old site to the wordpress site and started from scratch but in features the site is more interactive
