  3. existing HTML5 template to October CMS

Hello,

Are there any good tutorials on converting an existing HTML template to an October CMS theme.

I've been browsing the internet and there are many tutorials on how to make a theme from scratch. Or is this enough for me to get the hang of it and be able to convert?

If this would be enough then; If I follow this https://octobercms.com/docs/themes/development for instance, what would be the things to look out for when converting an existing HTML5 template?

Coming from WordPress, this is pretty new to me but I like the system so far and that it is based on the Laravel framework. It gives me a lot more freedom to work and less painful digging into the code.

When it comes to building themes, October CMS acts as a more advanced version of flat HTML files. Take a look at this video flat-file October CMS where I explain some of the basics

The CMS documentation is a better place to start as it describes the templates found within the system: https://octobercms.com/docs/cms/themes

Have fun!
