Could someone point me to documentation detailing how to port an existing site to Umbraco? I have a site created using html, css and js. How do I pull this into Umbraco and start editing it? Is this possible or do i have to rebuild my site in Umbraco?
Don't think there's much docs on this topic, but would suggest to look into the FREE intro vids on umbraco.tv to get you started and get familiar with the umbraco building block being document types, templates, macros...
Umbraco takes HTML, CSS, and js directly (not some specialized templates, but just standard masterpages). I would recommend just splitting the 'template' (navigation, header, footer) from the content (body text traditionally in the center of the page). If it is lots and lots of page then you will need a way to split that content from the template part of your HTML pages then you could use something like cms import: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/cmsimport.
Thanks Dirk, I have looked at some intro videos and am familiar with the doc types, templates etc. But this would mean that I would have to build my website from scratch in Umbraco. Is there a simpler way around this?
