We are leaning towards using DNN as the foundation for our intranet. 

One question we have is if it is possible to take a masterpage template we have already created and move it into DotNetNuke?  For example, our corporate website has been built under the .NET platform and we have created a masterpage that has our company brand with all the associated stylesheets and graphics.  We are hoping it is possible and relatively easy to take the existing masterpage, stylesheets and images and integrate them into DotNetNuke so we immediately have a working template with our company brand.

Is this easy to accomplish?

Thanks.

Yes and no....once you have an existing design it is easier to configure, however, there will still be a manual process involved...

Have a look at the way a core DNN skin is written, that should give you a good starting point.

Hi Mitch,

Thanks for replying to my post.  Being totally new to DNN, I've just started to read the docs.  We just got it installed about 10 minutes ago.  How can I examine how a core DNN skin is written?  Where should I look for this?

Thanks again.
Regards.

I suggest to check out the Skinning document to be found in Resources > Documentation > Download menu item above. besides there are well made video tutorials available at www.dnncreative.com , basic stuff even for free.
