I've been diving into website building and I've hit a snag. I've created my site using Lovable, which is an AI tool that helped me craft exactly what I envision for my small business. I've also started a premium WordPress plan to build out the site, but it's been a struggle. I've heard from others that you can't really convert a Lovable site to WordPress, but I've stumbled upon some YouTube videos suggesting it might be possible. I'm here to see if anyone can shed some light on this situation. Am I out of luck, or is there a way to move my Lovable site over to WordPress? I'm ready to put in the work, or even consider hiring someone if that's what's needed.

It's awesome that you're enjoying making websites! But it seems like there's a bit of confusion here. You're probably using WordPress.com, which limits you in terms of customization compared to WordPress.org. Your Lovable site is essentially a static website while WordPress generates content dynamically using a database. So yes, it can be tricky. But here’s the good news: you can take the code from your Lovable site and create a WordPress theme! It will require some coding skills, though, since you'll need to dive into HTML, CSS, and PHP. It's definitely a project worth considering, but maybe not the best fit for a complete beginner.
Thanks for the detailed explanation! Now I'm weighing my options: should I hire a pro, stick with Lovable, or try creating a similar theme myself? Just wondering if you or anyone has experience with Lovable and if it’s a solid tool for non-eCommerce sites?
