    Hi,

    Our coders/freelancers completely built a site without any CMS and now we are at a stage where we are stuck to make any changes .
    Our site is leaving beta for final launch but before this want to install some cms.
    We are in such a state that all pages are individual pages no 'includes' folder also

    What is the best solution .. can we install joomla , drupal cms etc to our existing php site.
    we use php with mysql and are on a dedicated unix/linux server.

    Regards
    Rajiv

    I offer a service where i can install a cms without changing your design one pixel. How many pages large is your site?

    Ouch ok. I would not reccommend my system for a site as large as yours, i'd recode it into joomla.

    You'd have to have someone recode your design into a theme, and then rebuild your pages.

    No, you cant just add a CMS, the theme has to be coded for a CMS first.

    It can't be done. You just can't take a site and make it Joomla, or Wordpress or anything else. It has to be rebuilt to function on the platform.
    You can add a CMS as a folder, but it's not as easy as just changing a few lines of code to make the whole site function on a CMS software.

    well I am not sure a custom automatized CMS can re-code a site without making any damage to it. It's obvious such a copy will have to be fixed.

    Very true. I would just code a Theme for a CMS to fit their design.
