Convert HTML to WordPress Template
-
Hello everyone, I have a client who needs help with a website.
The website is already coded using HTML, CSS and JavaScript, however, the client wants to convert this site into a WordPress template so that it becomes easy to add new content whenever necessary.
How can I go about doing that?
Thank you. -
Hello,
Not sure If I understand correctly. You’re trying to convert a static website that build with HTML, CSS and JavaScript to a WordPress ecosystem, right?
In my opinion, convert an existing website built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to a WordPress template. The best way to do this is to create a custom block theme. To create a custom block theme, here are the resources I want to share with you.

Extra Tips:
If you don’t know much about WordPress, I would recommend looking for a WordPress theme that fits your client’s needs and then start making some modifications to an existing theme. The final design may not look exactly like the previously coded website, but it will be very easy to expand and maintain after switching to WordPress.
I hope my tips gave you some clues on how to convert your existing website to a WordPress template. If you need further assistance, feel free to let me know.
