Hi

I've recently taken on a project to move a static web site of over 100 pages to DNN.  I'm fairly comfortable with DNN and have built many sites and skins for it.  However, I'm not sure of the most efficient way to get all those old pages into the new site.

Anyone got any ideas?  Is there some tool to convert the pages to a template?  Do I have to spend weeks cleaning the html and importing it page by page into new modules?

Any ideas gratefully received.

Angus

It shouldn't take weeks...  :)

Unless you want to use iFrames to open the HTML, there's not a real easy way to do this.  Of course, there's not a guarntee that this is the correct way either, since we don't know what the HTML is we can't advise on that.  Normally it would be recreate the navigation as needed, decide on what modules should contain the content, then cut and paste content.
