Wordpress Compatibility

I'm a long time Xara designer. Had been using a very old version, Xara Designer 6 until recently getting the Designer Pro X. I'm ready to reconstruct my website and I want to enable user accounts and profiles on it. I found out that Xara isn't made for doing this but does anyone know how I could import Wordpress or Wordpress widgets/features at least on a single page of a Xara design to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for your advice. I'm on a Windows 10 PC.

Hi

. . . . I could import Wordpress or Wordpress widgets/features at least on a single page of a Xara design to accomplish this? . . . .

That is not possible, Web Designer and WordPress are 2 very different incompatible systems.

Web Designer is a website creation program for creating a complete website for uploading to the hosting web server.

WordPress is a Content Management System (CMS) which also the web site ie it is installed on the hosting web server. Content is added to WordPress, which then generates the web pages on the fly when requested by the viewer ie there are no web pages in the form Web Designer creates.

For user account logins and profiles you would be looking at using WordPress, Drupal, Joomla CMS systems for the whole website and a host that provides PHP/MySQL support.
