Hey Guys!

I will be using CMS Builder for some new sites but I was wondering how easy it is to assimilate into an existing site that is already populated with content?

Thanks!
Lenny
Best,

Hi Lenny,

Assuming you're starting with .html pages you first create an editor for a section. Then you create a copy of the existing .html page as .php, copy in the CMS Builder code and get it displaying content properly. Then you enter in all the old content (this is what can take the longest) into the editor. Then update your links to point to the .php page instead of the .html page.

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