    Hi,

    I've done a few searches on google and couldn't see any tutorials based specifically on coding a wordpress theme which isn't for a blog, yet a website. I've spoken to a number of different designers who really recommended using it as either a blog or website cms but I can only see some tutorial examples for blog sites.

    I have a design and also have coded a HTML and CSS doumrnt for it, so everything works, i just really want to learn how to incorporate it into wordpress and if it's difficult to do or even worth it if I want to offer basic web design to a few small local business'.

    I tried to follow a tutorial and the theme wouldn't even load, wordpress told me it had lots of errors (a sign that maybe my first attempt didn't go so well haha). I'd love any help or advice on the matter.

    Thanks in advance,
    Sam

    Thanks for the link aap, I have seen that page before and know how to choose a static page as my homepage, although I'm still no closer to understanding the difference between having to integrate a ful blog into a wordpress theme and then just doing a website. Here's a image of the theme I have already coded into html and css, but I'd love any advice about how to code it since I'd love to learn about this from someone who knows what they're doing. Again, thankyou for your reply.

    I think I see what you're asking for. Basically it's slightly harder to transform an HTML/CSS site into a blog rather than the other way around. You're going to have to transfer the site into a blog/wordpress and you need some knowledge of PHP to do so. I assume you're going to have to do it from the PSD.
