    I found some stunning HTML5 templates at
    http://html5up.net/

    And I am wondering if these can be used in wordpress or, if not, how can I get a site going that uses one of these templates?

    I would have asked the designer but there is zero contact information on his site.

    Thanks!

    I should add that I tried uploading the theme .zip into wordpress and I keep getting errors that the stylesheet is missing. I tried opening the .zip to see if there is an internal folder that is ‘the theme folder’ to then zip and upload, but there isn’t – just the theme files.

    Those are static HTML templates, not WordPress themes, so you wont be able to install them as is.

    However, you can slice (or have someone slice) these templates into a WordPress theme for your use.

    Thanks Edward. Before I pay someone to do the slicing, can I expect the theme to completely transfer? And how would that work for editing the various elements (background image etc.). I usually rely on the easy-to-edit interfaces of wordpress themes. Would all changes have to be made in a ‘back end’ sort of way? i.e. Would I be hiring someone to make every change to the site?

    Again, thanks!

    It it could be done either way, with various levels of integration, depending on how much time/money you’re willing to invest.
