Hey man thanks for the great tut.

Been looking around for this for ages. Was a joomla junkie before but have fallen in love with Drupal.

All the best

Awesome tutorial/guide!

Thanks for this very very helpful guide for converting a CSS site to Drupal. It is actually quite simple to follow & understand.

I do have one problem though, what if my website has more than one html file, i.e. index.html, contacts.html, downloads.html etc..

The index.html will be converted to page.tpl.php, but what about the others? How can we incorporate the pages into drupal?? Keeping in mind that the layout of the pages might sometime differ (i.e. sometimes i have one column page & 2 column page in the other etc). Is there like a page2.tpl.php, page3 etc?
I would appreciate any help in this matter..

Thanks again, i did learn from this guide & it opened my eyes on new methods :)

Yes, you can simply override

Yes, you can simply override the template by creating .tpl.php file as you have stated. So if your download is node/2 then you can create a file call page-node-2.tpl.php and so forth.
