Importing a site

Have a site already? Waveform can rebuild it as clean, editable code — whether it's your current site you want to escape from, or a design you want to start from.

Import from a URL

Use /import or just ask:

"Import https://www.flourandstone.com and rebuild it."

Waveform captures the site's pages, extracts brand identity (colors, fonts, logo), pulls the content and assets, and reconstructs each page through the same measuring design engine used for new builds. The captured pages become visual references, and the rebuild is refined against them pixel-by-pixel.

Import from an image

Have a mockup or a screenshot instead of a live site? Use /mockup and upload the image. The engine treats it as the design target and builds a real page to match.

What you get

• Editable code, not a copy-paste. The rebuild is a normal Waveform project: per-section components, structured content, a theme. Change anything through chat.
• Extracted brand. Colors, typography, and imagery carry over as design tokens you can evolve.
• Faithful reconstruction. Because the engine measures against the original rather than eyeballing it, layouts, spacing, and typography come out close.

What to expect

• Static design imports extremely well. Layout, typography, color, imagery, and content are the engine's home turf.
• Interactive widgets need a follow-up. Embedded maps, carousels, custom animations, and third-party widgets aren't reconstructed automatically — ask for them after the import and Waveform adds them.
• You choose what to keep. After the rebuild, iterate normally: "keep the layout but modernize the palette" is a common first request.

Importing content only

If you want your existing copy and structure but a fresh design, say so:

"Import the content from my old site, but design something new."

Waveform crawls for content and brand, then designs from your creative brief instead of the original layout.
