    How do i convert my joomla site to plain HTML?

    I understand it's just a matter of stripping the php code? What exactly do I need to strip out?

    Thank you!

    You can try viewing the page in a browser, viewing the source code, saving that in notepad as an html file and uploading it to your server to see if it works. As long as all the css files and images are there it should work.

    I haven't tried doing it, but I will give it a shot. Nevertheless, I doubt if it works if we still want the page to run under Joomla's folder. Is it possible to have both .php and .html in a website?

    Absolutely. You can mix the two. You can even set most servers to parse html as php if you need to.

    I've tried downloading the page and all the CSS files and it works MOSTLY. Only a few elements are left out, like the logo, button design and some of the layout images. Odd, I can't figure out why they are not showing...maybe one of you guys could figure it out by saving everything (the css and html), and seeing what is missing and why?

    NVM! I've figured it out. One of the stylesheets (style1.css) was pointing to images in a different location. I'm assuming they did this so the user could easily change between different styles of the template.

    thanks anyways though!

    thanks! It's nice to hear that after spending ALOT of time on it. It was built with Joomla, but I am now converting it to plain ol' HTML so I can further customize it. I find Joomla great for commercial websites, but not so great for individual sales pages (which is what my site is).
