    Hi,

    I am building a website for a friend and once complete they want to be able to manage the content themselves. I have built the site using html, bootstrap, css, js.

    Is it possible using wordpress to have access to do this, with the new content having the same styling as the current page?

    I have never used CMS before as I normally just write the raw html and edit this when I need to make adjustments.

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    So you want to use the WordPress back-end for content management, but you want the site to look like the static HTML site you’ve built?

    The only way I know of to do this is to create a custom WordPress theme that looks like your design, and install that on a WordPress site. Which would mean essentially starting over from scratch as WordPress themes use PHP code to dynamically create the HTML :)

    However, you might also be able to do something using the WordPress API. For advice on that you’ll need to ask the WordPress.org community who makes the software, though. They’re also the best people to advise you on building your own WordPress theme.

    The forum you’re posting now is for WordPress.com, a managed host for WordPress. That means we manage WordPress core files, so you cannot modify them directly in any way. Uploading your own theme to a site hosted on our servers requires our Business Plan.
