This tutorial explains how to convert a Dreamweaver Template to a WordPress Theme.

Note: It helps if you are familiar with Dreamweaver Templates, HTML and CSS. If you think this tutorial is beyond your skill level, we can convert your Dreamweaver Template into a WordPress Theme.

Let’s Get Started

Through this process we’ll start by creating a blank Dreamweaver Templated page, we’ll detach it from the Dreamweaver Template, insert the WordPress loop, sidebar & header code, adjust the stylesheet a bit and finally break the page into the various WordPress include files typically used in a WordPress theme. We’ll be grabbing the WordPress loop, sidebar and header code from the Default WordPress Kubrick Theme and pasting it into the Dreamweaver Templated page.

I like to create a new page from the Dreamweaver Template I plan to convert and name it index.html, then I detach the file from the template to remove all the extra Dreamweaver Template mark up.

If you get stumped or don’t understand a part of my explanation, please leave a comment with your issue and I’ll try and follow up.. I’m usually pretty fast to respond.
