Hi all,
I am a newbie in to this forum as well as Drupal.
I would like to know if we can migrate the whole website running just with HTML,CSS, Jquery to Drupal.

Sorry, if the topic already exists!
Thank you.

Yes, this topic is commonplace on these forums. I have a couple of other forum answers with almost the same question, so you can look for those, but if you need Drupal documentation, you will need to create a Drupal template and define block regions. Then, you add lines of PHP, which are the "render" command to display those blocks. Blocks are simply logical containers that hold information like views, static HTML, jQuery, etc.

My best suggestion is to study the Zen template since this contains everything you need.

Hi
You can migrate your html into drupal just you need to install drupal & appropriate theme which is easier, I can suggest amity island theme for the beginner.
Create regions with same id which you have in HTML, then create blocks for the static content & enable in that region.
For the slideshow and all you can use CCK, Views etc modules.
Using cck & views you can create 70% of the functionalities work for your website.

<sigh>, links are no followed so repeating them in the sig is useless. Also, we are quite familiar with the adodis army of spammers so if you're planning on spamming save yourself and us some time and don't bother-- you'll be spotted and blocked immediately (even if you do contribute some seemingly helpful posts first).
