I have an asignment to take existing given html page and convert it to umbraco CMS. The outcome should be the possibiliy to change every node in the page using the Umbraco CMS.
Does anyone have an idea of how to start and what are the steps?
Please don't double post the same question multiple places - It will only lead to confusion. I have deleted the other post so we can keep things in this one. But don't worry about it, it's ok and I understand why one can be confused about where to place things. Fortunately a highly improved version of this forum will be launched late february...yay! :)
Ok, now to your actual question...I think it would be good if you started out by reading some basic documentation in order to learn about the concepts in Umbraco. Basically you will need to create a document type, which is where you define the data-fields for heading, teaser, bodytext etc. for instance. Then you will need to create a template and assign it to your document type - The template is where you place your html and renders the content from the document type using a partial view macro for instance. Finally in the "Content" section you need to create a node based on your document type, add content and publish it in order to view your content.
I bet you're a bit confused right now and that's toally ok - Once you have had a glance at these guides and articles it will make a lot more sense! :)
I know this is not very hands on, but it's hard to do a good guide in a forum if it's your first time with Umbraco and it's better that you read some first.
A good idea is also to install Umbraco and play around with the predefined "Fanoe starter kit" to get an idea about all the concepts as well.
And if you feel like it you can also sign up to http://umbraco.tv where there are some really nice videos to learn from as well.
Once again welcome, I hope the above is useful and enough to get you started.

I recommend that you start out by reading this article by Blake Smith, which is very very basic http://24days.in/umbraco/2014/how-to-set-up-an-umbraco-site/
Next you should read this is a beginners tutorial co-written by some members of the community: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Using-Umbraco/Creating-Basic-Site/
