   Admin module for uploading contents. now i would like to switch to a CMS as it
   is more standared. but i didnt find anywhere a good tutorial which helps me to
   get started. i want to work as easy or even more than i was working before. is
   wordpress flexible to make what ever i want, as i have done without CMS?.where
   should i start?
 * i have installed wordpress well and created sample pages. but thats not i want.
   
   normally without a cms what i do is i will create the html with my photoshop 
   layout and then write phpcode to fill the sections. how is the same thing possible
   in wordpress.
 * how can i create a home page and subpages?
    where can i write php code?
 * please help i need to start a new website asap. i prefer doing that in wordpress
   but i got stuck.
 * Also, i want to know is it possible to move, a website which was built without
   any CMS and is already having more thant 1500 content and page rank 3, to wordpress
   without loosing the layout (the look) and the content?

 * You must realise that WP has its own structure, which may be very different from
   what you are trying to do. In the most primitive setup, WP makes you a ‘blog’.
   You can make “pages” (static content) and “posts” (little stories that end are
   displayed and archived chronologically). Once everything is set up, you can choose/
   make a “theme” (design).
 * Of course there are plenty possibilities, especially if you are good with coding(
   which I am not), so I guess you just do some initial reading in the “[Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page)”
   and download a WP pack and have a peek at the files to see if all about.

 * Take a look at the default template files, in the default folder in wp-content/
   themes.
 * A great place to start is the codex – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page)–
   all things WordPress, from soup to nuts, and a Developer Documentation section
   that should keep you busy for a while!
 * Oops – just realized the codex link was already posted…sorry.

 * thank you for the replies, i am lost checking wordpress code. going through the
   documents you have given. now please tell me, how easy it would be to move a 
   site built in traditional way to a CMS like wordpress.
