Converting complicated html template
Permalink
Hi all!
At the moment I'm hesitating between concrete5 and WolfCMS. Though I have to admit that the cluttered forums of concrete5 gives bonuspoints to WolfCMS at the moment.
I have previous experience with Joomla.
I want to convert a html page to a concrete5 template. You can find an older version of the design here:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49173268/media/example%20tt/abou... . Since it isn't your average page I thought I would ask first before trying.
I've got three menu's, from which one isn't supposed to show up at every page (the vertical one). The links in the header should be editable by my client, just as logo, menu buttons ofcourse, footer links + footer copyright, content.
Is this an easy process to convert and even possible with these three menu's?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
As mentioned by Hypocrite, this looks like a very simple template to convert.
You might want to read this post:

as it will give you the basics.
When creating a template all you are really doing is replacing the content areas with php code so that you can then add blocks to these areas.
If you need any further help let me know.

There are video examples to follow by Andrew on converting.

Of course it depends on the logic of the menus how they are supposed to be visible but this should be easily configurable with the Automatic Navigation block.
You can also make everything editable through global areas or stacks.
