Using WordPress To Run Your Website

Hi i do this for a living so first off let me rephrase your question to make it a bit more technically precise so that others looking for this answer will get a better idea of what is entailed. The question is actually how to convert your already built HTML website design into a WordPress website. The reason i say this is because you will install WordPress on your Host server and then you will be taking your design graphics and adding it to your WordPress theme. The visual graphic design of any website can be applied to any platform. i just did this one recently http://ezdrycarpet.com/ezb/ – it is a WordPress site that is using the graphics from the main HTML site to match it identically. It is supposed to look like a WordPress Blog because that is what the intended use is going to be. The real deal is this – you can "deblog" WordPress to make it look like a standard website by modifying several PHP files. An example of a deblogged WordPress site is this one i did > http://www.visionsign.net/vision/ It only has slight resemblances to a WordPress Blog and appears to be a standard HTML business site. There are several other methods where you could do site integration building to combine the HTML and PHP sites, but you’re talking about a lot of work where it would be simpler and much smarter to start with the WordPress core platform and build into it. A standard HTML site is obviously not a platform. A WordPress website is a platform so it is only logical to start building from the platform. birthcenter is using a standard WordPress theme deblogged to make it look like a standard website. the dallasbbq site is Drupal. The best approach for converting your existing HTML website into a Drupal site would be the same as WordPress. Drupal is the platform so you add to the platform. hope that was helpful. Good Luck!
