is it possible to port existing web site to umbraco
Boss gave me a task to port our current web site to umbraco is it possible?
I was like wow i've just seen umbraco gimme a break right:) Well so far from what i've seen i'd have to remake the site bottoms up or could i just make it umbraco site in few steps?
What I've done a couple of times is taking the templates, images, stylesheets and javascript from the old site and put them into Umbraco. I don't know what your current templating system is like, but I bet it's a lot like master pages and there are areas which you could convert to contentplaceholders.
If there's any way for you to export data from the old site, you could probably easily import it into Umbraco using UmbImport.
I've done three sites like this and depending on the functionality in the old site, it's not too difficult!
I have the same task from my boss,edit the current content of the website using Umbraco. I guess first I need to migrate my website into Umbraco before I can do the editing, right? I have copied templates,images and stylesheets from the website server and add into Umbraco as shown on some video I saw. But I cannot get the website running. Also, I have another question, can I have the website address like such www.mysite.com instead of http://localhost:54320/? If yes, where can I change it?

Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Hi Sebastian,
I have the same task from my boss,edit the current content of the website using Umbraco. I guess first I need to migrate my website into Umbraco before I can do the editing, right?

Many thanks in advance.
