Sorry guys I know this has probably been covered a hundred times before but I have been reading tutorials and watching Wordpress videos for hours and can't figure it out.

 

Please take a look at my HTML file for my static page. Is it ready to be converted to Wordpress? I am aware Wordpress looks for a header.php, sidebar.php, index.php, and footer.php. Which parts of my HTML go into which php files?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just can't find anything to get me started on this.

index.html

OK guys I have got my HTML into a basic Wordpress theme.

I have been instructed to try and make the page as dynamic as possible. Seems like a vague task but from what I've been reading I now need to make the menus dynamic and make the content dynamic so the client can type their own information.

 

Does anyone have any links to good tutorials for these tasks?

Looking at your site, I'd go for something like this (see attachment). That is assuming you want the #main-image to appear on every page.

 

 

Have a look at this page:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development

 

It goes through the basics of creating a theme and explains what you're looking to have in each file.

Thanks Spitfire.

 

I will give this a read.

There was a good tutorial for creating a custom WP theme posted on web designer wall a couple of years back. Might be helpful.
