I am new to the platform and stuck at a certain point.
What I am trying to do is to create content of pages via HTML. I had tried with RTE. But it doesn't solve my problem.
Anyone here who can guide me through how can I create content of Home and Other pages content with HTML code.
Basically I have all the HTML and CSS code available and want to
convert the site into Umbraco. So I had successfully created the
navigation etc things.
I hope you will understand what I am trying to do.
First of all - welcome to Umbraco!
Umbraco CMS comes with an empty frontend (if not installing a starter-template) and it works perfectly with HTML and CSS. So therefor it is also perfect for implementing your own markup and designs. What you need to do, is to understand the basics of document types and creating content related to the document types. I will suggest you to have a look at the Getting Started documents https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Tutorials/Creating-Basic-Site/ and also the video tutorials on http://umbraco.tv/ as they will explain the fundamentals of how Umbraco works.
Hey Jim Jensen,
Thanks for your reply. I will look at it for sure,
But let me tell you one more thing, I had created a document type with a text editor in it only and allows only code in that text editor and called it CodeDocType. Now when I am adding a new content page under my home page and adding my code it does not adding that code (Output of HTML, CSS, Script) on the page...
Hi again Adnan. I think it is beacause that you have not been telling your template to output the code from the content page. When you create a document type it will default create a template for that document type for you to output your content. It should also be in that template that you write your HTML. When you read the documentation that I have linked to, you will also come across this section here: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Tutorials/Creating-Basic-Site/Creating-Your-First-Template-and-Content-Node
