Creating Your Website with OpenClaw

Now that you have OpenClaw set up and understand the Gateway, it's time to create your first WordPress site—entirely through conversation.

Installing the WordPress Studio Skill

OpenClaw uses skills to extend its abilities. The WordPress Studio skill lets you create and manage WordPress sites just by chatting.

Step 1: Install skunkcli

First, install the Skunk CLI tool:

npm install -g @skunkglobal/skunkcli

The Skunk CLI gives you access to our curated collection of OpenClaw skills.

Step 2: Install the WordPress Studio Skill

skunkcli skill install wordpress-studio

This installs the wordpress-studio skill from our openclaw-skills repository.

That's it! OpenClaw can now create and manage WordPress sites for you.

Creating Your First Site

Open your OpenClaw chat interface and send this simple prompt:

Hi there, please create me a wordpress studio site and I want you to create
me a homepage about "SkillsForge" which is an OpenClaw landing page for
specific prompts and skills for taking your usage of OpenClaw to the next
level. The theme should be the dark theme with orange accents.

What Happens Next

OpenClaw will:

1. Create a WordPress Studio instance — A local WordPress environment spins up automatically
2. Analyze your request — It understands you want a landing page for "SkillsForge" with a dark theme and orange accents
3. Build the homepage — Creates the page structure, applies a dark theme, configures orange accent colors
4. Set up the content — Writes compelling copy about SkillsForge based on your description
5. Give you a preview link — Shows you the live site URL

The entire process takes about 30-60 seconds. No clicking through WordPress admin, no theme customization panels, no page builders. Just conversation.

What You Get

After that single prompt, you'll have:

• ✅ A fully functional WordPress site
• ✅ A professionally designed homepage
• ✅ Dark theme with orange accent colors
• ✅ Compelling copy about SkillsForge
• ✅ A local URL to preview your site
• ✅ Full WordPress admin access if you want to manually tweak anything

What's Next

You now have a complete WordPress site. In the next chapter, we'll show you how to add additional pages with simple prompts—no logging into WordPress admin required.

The site you created is just the beginning. OpenClaw can:

• Add new pages and posts
• Install and configure plugins
• Create custom forms
• Set up analytics
• Optimize for SEO
• And much more... all through conversation
