    Hi I am extremely new to this wordpress. I have got hosting and it seems to be set up with wordpress and various people have advised me to use wordpress. The problem is I have built most of my site in dreamweaver and am happy with how it looks, it has quite a few pages and style sheets. When I test it o. A local server from dreamweaver it looks exactly as I want, but I have tried uploading it to wordpress and it doesn’t look even a little bit alike. I want to know is their a simple way to convert my HTML to wordpress?? At theminute I only have a couple of things on my wordpress site https://www.integrateni.com as I really want to use my dreamweaver design. Please any help would be much appreciated. Ps I have tried renaming the HTML to php and no joy.

    Thanks
    Zoe

  • If you are using a dreamweaver workflow, then your results are bound to that technology. On the other hand if you decide that your dreamweaver work is all about shaping out the design of your site, with variations of page layout, then you will be able to use the look of your design, and customise a WordPress theme to achieve it, OR use your dreamweaver design to communicate with creatives who will help you customise a theme.

    You say that you are new to WordPress, but have dreamweaver experience, how do you rate your CSS and HTML skills ?

    My suggestion is that you browse the free theme gallery here, find a theme that supports a no-sidebars choice, also one that is “responsive” because eventually you will want the site to hold up on mobiles and tablets.

    Then install WordPress on a sub-domain so you can do testing and development.
    Install a browser inspector like “firebug”.
    Install your chosen theme, then create a child theme of it, details here:

    Then start customising your theme, post questions on the forums here when you get stuck.
    When you want your site to go live, use the plugin DUPLICATOR to move it.

    Thank you.

    I am starting to figure it out – slowly.

    I am sure there are easier ways to do some of the things I want to have on the website but it is all about learning.

    Cheers
