Wordpress theme question!

    Hey,

    I have a site that I would want to implement a wordpress blog into. I was wondering if it would be hard to create a theme that looked the same as my site? Really I would just want basic blog functions but have the same header and menu as the regular site. The domain is this http://www.gymabs.com/

    Does anyone know the price range it would cost if I was to get someone to do it for me?

    Trying to see my options as to whether I try and do it myself or get somebody to do it. Thanks for reading. :)

    Regards,
    Brett

    That could easily be turned into a wordpress theme. I don't think it would cost more then 30 dollars. Although, as it is a simple design, if you invested say 50, you could get someone to do a better job with the design.

    Thanks for the response, when you say $50 for a better design, do you mean better design of the site over all? Or better design of just the blog? thanks again :)

    50 dollars for someone to redesign your site into wordpress and code it.

    If you know a little bit of php and css it souldn't be a problem. Find a three column wordpress theme with a horizontal menu, open the .css, header.php, and footer.php file and simply edit those.

    $50 will do the magic. Try out DP's buy and sell section. There are some coders there who are good. If you would like a complete makeover for both your site and blog, you can pay a lot more for people to do that for you.

    Hmm - I'd suggest you spend time browsing the net for Wordpress theme of your liking and then redesign you web site to suit the style of your blog. BTW US$50 for coding your site into wordpress is a reasonable price.

    Not only do you wnt someone to design it, but if you don't know about SEO and Wordpress, you should add that into the package. Little things like www preference and the trailing backslash.. there are more, but jsut keep SEO in mind! Cheers
