Just discovering Umbraco. I've got it installed on my local server and open in VS 2010.
What I am trying to do is migrate a very small ASP.NET 2.0 website to Umbraco, which I guess should be a simple thing to do.
The existing website uses a masterpage as it's template, with around 10 static aspx pages deriving from this masterpage, together with a contact form and a simple news section (driven by a template aspx page from a XML datastore, using URLRewritingNet).
How much of this can I reuse in terms of the master page, css, image folder structure etc, and how do I get started?
You can pretty much reuse most of your existing code. I recommend checking out the Umbraco TV section which will give you a good start to Umbraco (around 5-6 hours of videos there).
Pretty much all of it really. I have been doing this with a few sites recently and the best advice I can give is to separate out as much existing functionality as possible into user controls if you have not done so already, you can then easily reuse the controls in the Umbraco site.
