Building CMS with Existing Website

Hi Rolly,

Start by just creating a test section for news. Create a list page and a detail page a get them linking together. That will give you an idea of how the system works.

Next, having a look at the site you linked to there's a few ways to do it. Probably the simplest if you're just getting started would be to create a section for each: About Us, Services, etc.

Start with About Us. Create a multi record section called "About Us" with fields for: title and content.

Copy each of the existing pages from "About Us" on the website and create a new record for them. Then create a list viewer that displays "all" the records and save that as "about-us.php". Don't worry about adding the design. First have it list all the page titles on the left side for menu links. Then create a detail page viewer and add that code on the right to display the selected page.

Once that's all setup, you just copy your existing design over.

That's a quick overview. Let me know how far you get stuck or need help along the way. Once you create the About Us section you'll be able to do the same thing to create the other sections.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions or if you need more details.
