Should I convert my current site to wordpress

  • Someone told me that having the pages of my site (aliciacz3echowski.com) put into wordpress would make the whole site easier to manage. After making some tentative attempts to do this, I thought it a good idea to ask for a second (or however many) opinion.

    I want the site to look and function as it is, with seven pages which are essentially menus pages with an image, six submenu pages which contain scrolling image galleries, and one submenu page that links to the wordpress blog. I want the blog page to be the only active wordpress pages with navigation to the other pages only from the menu I added above the wordpress header. The only thing I might do is change the image galleries to a wordpress plug in if I decide the vertical scrolling gallery I am converting to (the still lifes button) is a problem as was the hoizontal scroll I started with (the other image buttons).

    I have linked the wordpress site to my site even though the blog currently has no content. If you select PAINTINGS from the word press menu you can see my first attempt to make a page to match my site. My theme is weaverII. I used a blank page template and made the page my pasting the html of my site’s painting page into content and the pasting my css rules into insert page-head-code.

    Since I don’t know the next step to fix the page and it seems likely that it will be a lot of work (mostly to learn what to do) I thought I’d make extra sure the effort will be worth it.

    I was right where you are some years ago. I am biased for WordPress over Drupal, Joomla and others. However, do this: set up a free site at wordpress.com.

    Play around with the features, develop a quick site using your assets and make the decision that way before going ALL OUT with www.remarpro.com.

    The easier to manage is a FACT..

    Thanks for the advice. The site I’m working on now is my friend’s and is finished enough for now, though in separate sections for the Kompozer pages and the WordPress Blog pages. I could spend time learning wordpress with a separate site. The only immediate problem is that I’d first have to come up with a reason and purpose for a site. If I can do that I see a definite advantage in fiddling with a separate site before risking messing up my friend Alicia’s site.
