Converting a Site

Fisherman:
Hello,

I'm converting a static site to WB. The file names are index.html, home, etc... In the admin there's an entry for title but not file name. How can I create pages to replace the original files and with the same content so my client will have the same website but editable? Can't I choose the file names and page titles separately?

Thanks

You should NOT do this. Make a useful site structure, but do not try to copy the old structure.
When your new site is finished, make redirection with the .htaccess, like this:

--- Code: ---redirect 301 /business/6030.html http://www.mysite.at/cms/serie-30/6x3.html
--- End code ---

A few lines, and the job is done - without permanent troubles.

Sounds like more trouble than it's worth for this job. I just wanted to let the client edit his existing pages without messing up the design. He knows nothing about html so this WB sounded good. I guess not. Any suggestions?

PurpleEdge:
Create a WB wysiwyg page for each of the corresponding pages in the current website.

Copy the content from the current site into the wysiwyg editor of the new site - do this by going to the pages in the current site, select the parts you want to copy while viewing the pages in IE, then paste that content into the wysiwyg editor.

I don't know of a simpler solution if that is too much trouble?

Maybe buy them a copy of Serif WebPlus, or Xara WebDesigner?

An alternatie would be a simple page type editor without a cms/database. There are quite some nice ones around. I believe Snippetmaster is one of them, but have look in Google and hotscripts.com.
