Hello all, I am hoping to transfer my web site to cmsms but would like to use its basic look.  This is a link to some of it.....

http://www.i-webdesigns.co.uk/noble-gallery/page1.html

As you can see it is very simple but it exists using a different program..The slide show is embedded using a different program, that is not a problem, it is transfering the look to cmsms.

Any help please...

In the documentation is a link on "how to move the static site to CMSMS".

Also is there a link to "mint chocolate", a visual guide on transferring

Thanks for your reply, what about the theme. For example there is 2 0r 3 css files with this web site which I would like to transfer or copy. Do I just add them in the theme manager/menu manager or do they need to be adjusted for cmsms?

thanks again.

Stylesheets can just be copied.

Copy them from the original stylesheet, go to "Layout -> Stylesheets" and paste them there (with a name you make up).

When you go to "Layout -> Templates" there is a button "CSS" to attach and unattach stylesheets to a template. There you can attach those added stylesheets, after which they are pulled when a page has that template.

Thanks for reply. I have tried this with new stylesheet and template but there seems to be little change on the web site.

I copied css and pasted to stylesheet with new name.  Went to template and seleted styelesheet from pull down for that template. Visited site but no change..

Any suggestions at all?

I can send css file to see if it can work.
