After running a web design company for 14 years, I wanted a new way to build WordPress sites with AI that didn’t involve page builders, adding staff, bloated themes, or starting from a blank canvas every time.

A few challenges I faced in building, maintaining, and updating nearly 1,500 websites on Wordpress were:

1) Plugin bloat - The more plugins required, the slower Wordpress became.
2) Website Builders - Updating website builders without breaking client websites was a near impossible task.
3) Staff grew as we added customers - We were forced to add staff with specific skillsets to help build new sites AND also maintain website for customers.

So I tried building Wordpress sites the following ways:
* Traditional WordPress themes that never look like the demo without hours of tweaking.

* Wordpress builders that lock you into proprietary plugins that added bloat or broke sites when you try to update. This is what we did prior. Not much had changed in 10 years - just new styles.

*No-code / Vibe Code - These created beautiful sites but could only export static HTML or single-page web apps, not SEO friendly websites. As such they couldn't be indexed by Google and Bing. This was a show-stopper for me.

None of these fit my desired workflow so I built PressMeGPT.com: an AI powered Wordpress theme generator that designs homepages and then turn them into WordPress themes.

You describe the site in plain English, refine it with prompts, choose fonts, stock photos, and icons, and then export to either a Classic WordPress Theme, or modern Gutenberg Block Theme that works with Full Site Editor.

My goal was to cover the 80% of work that normally happens when designing a website, then customize it in Wordpress by reusing styles, layouts, and components across the rest of the site instead of rebuilding everything manually.

I built it for myself but a friend said it was useful for him so I decided to turn it into a product.

It’s built for:

• Non-designers who want professional-looking sites.

• Marketers and bloggers who want speed and control.

• Web developers who want a clean starting point without builder lock-in

• Small business owners who want to build their own site but don't have time to learn a builder.

  I've already built a client site and a hobby site with it. I’m excited to see how others use it!
