Creating a non blog theme from HTML CSS website

  • Hi everyone,

    I am just starting out as a freelance web designer and can create websites fine, but I am new to WordPress. I have read loads of tutorials and the codex, which have helped me to an extent but I am unfortunately getting myself confused!

    Basically all I want is to convert my designs into WordPress if my clients need to edit the content. I have split my files into head.php, index.php, footer.php, and page.php. I have included a loop in the index & page which shows my content when I add pages. I have also changed WordPress to static page in reading.

    My problem is my design is being displayed, but for some reason there is extra code being added by WordPress, for example some css to show a different background image and a horizontal rule. When I view my background image of my theme it breaks and shows a load of default WordPress content.

    Is there a simple way to convert a website that’s not a blog, just so the main content is able to be edited, or am I missing something important?

    I appreciate any help, I’m so close but I’m just hit a wall!

  • Hi

    Once activated your theme,there is no issue raises by default theme,

    if you using any plugin for background images?

    there is extra code being added by WordPress, for example some css to show a different background image and a horizontal rule.

    generally, only code that you deliberately add into your theme files, will get shown.

    ‘simply’ depends on the individual and experience – once you have done it a few times, it is generally not a problem.
