Can I use html site template on wordpress site?

I have an cool site template (sales page) that I'd like to use. Is this possible with wordpress? Or do I need to use WP themes only?

Sorry if this is a ridicolous question but I don't have a clue about wordpress yet

 

Every HTML/CSS template can be transformed into Wordpress theme just google it.

 

Thanks! I tried to google it but guess I didn't hit the right keywords : P

 

Basically a wordpress theme has:
header.php
index.php
sidebar.php
footer.php
style.css

You need a working knowledge of HTML and CSS to convert HTML to a wordpress theme. To start, a lesson like (www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/wordpress_create_theme.htm) will show you how to sort it all out. (sorry live links are not available to me, since I am new here)

So you split the code from your html file into 4 php files, put all the css into style.css.

And also you might need to change the css so it styles the correct elements. In Wordpress most the navigation links are in lists, and for an html theme, this is not neccessarily done like that.

 

Same doubt i have.Can you please provide some more information about this.

 

You can convert your HTML/CSS template to PHP/CSS page couz wp themes support PHP.

 

use google

 

If you have no prior experience with HTML I think you will find this difficult but there is probably someone on fiverr who will do it for you.

 

Okay so it is a little difficult process for someone without the knowledge? Damn I already hoped that I could do it
with some program by just clicking a few buttons

 

Hmm, actually the best foundation is by learning to handcode an HTML / CSS. By having enough knowledge with it, you will know where exactly to hook the wordpress functions into your html.

By learning HTML and CSS try to browse through w3schools. Their tutorials are very basic, but it's quite strong for a good start.

It would be nice.

In reality there are as many different types of HTML designs as there are web designers, so its not so simple.

 

It won't be something you can click a button and have it converted. I suppose there may be something out there that attempts this, but the results may not be that good. And converting a template to wordpress kind of defeats the purpose of having a template. You are re working it through. But, if you like the design then it isn't too hard to convert if you know a few things or can find someone to do it for you.

Also, you could try going to fiverr.com and see if you can get someone to do this for you for cheap.
