Is there a way to bring an existing website or HTML pages into [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) (v0.9.5)?

Not without a lot of manual effort so the bigger the site you are wanting to transfer the longer it will take.

I have just done this with what was a simple nine page site and it was just a case of setting up containers in [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) and then copy and pasting the text from the website. Obviously you then need to play around and get things looking how you want and adding images etc.

I am glad I went through the process because I learnt how [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) works and ended up with a much better looking site than I had made in RW.

Thanks.

Seem like that should be a feature of [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/).

I am sure it would be if it could be but it’s clearly not an easy thing to do.

I think the problem would be the existing websites code would need to be converted to Tailwinds code. Not an easy task, if even possible, I assume
