Creating custome Theme / Migrating HTML site to WordPress CMS

  • Hey everyone, if this is the wrong place for this then im sorry and just move it to another forum if possible.
    First i started to learn webdesign a few months ago and i am pretty good with html, css and a little bit of javascript.
    Now a friend wants me to help him for a project in university creating a Blog for him but i don’t have any expierence with a CMS. So i thought i’ll use WordPress to create this Website.

    Now i have 2 Questsions:
    What is a good way to test if the theme work? Should i use a own Apache Server or is there a better way?

    2)
    Is it better to create the static websit with logical IDs and Classes and then migrate that to wordpress php or should i write everything from the beginning in php ? Is there a good and easy tutorial for that?

    Thanks in advance

  • You should first install WordPress on a Server or on your own computer using Apache.
    Then you should choose a theme and install it, preferable a responsive one, with bootstrap.
    After this, you create a child theme and add the customizations as you want.
    You can also customize the main theme but its not recomended because if you want to update the theme you will loose any customization youve made.

    Check https://getbootstrap.com/components/ and imagine that any of that component can be simply pasted on any of your wordpress page.

    And this is not all, you will also find a plugin for anything you want, on WordPress.

    Thanks for your answer this already was pretty helpful but as it seems that this Theme will at end still be “connected” to the origin. But thats not really what i want due the fact that i want to create one indenpendent.

    I think that it is your first time working with WordPress. So, you first need to learn how to create WordPress theme in detail. I can help you with this.
