    i am new to wordpress, i havent used any other CMS also. but i am a good php programmer. i used to develop websites without any CMS and i create myself the Admin module for uploading contents. now i would like to switch to a CMS as it is more standared. but i didnt find anywhere a good tutorial which helps me to get started. i want to work as easy or even more than i was working before. is wordpress flexible to make what ever i want, as i have done without CMS?.where should i start?

    i have installed wordpress well and created sample pages. but thats not i want.
    normally without a cms what i do is i will create the html with my photoshop layout and then write phpcode to fill the sections. how is the same thing possible in wordpress.

    how can i create a home page and subpages?
    where can i write php code?

    please help i need to start a new website asap. i prefer doing that in wordpress but i got stuck.

    Also, i want to know is it possible to move, a website which was built without any CMS and is already having more thant 1500 content and page rank 3, to wordpress without loosing the layout (the look) and the content?

    Thanks

    You must realise that WP has its own structure, which may be very different from what you are trying to do. In the most primitive setup, WP makes you a ‘blog’. You can make “pages” (static content) and “posts” (little stories that end are displayed and archived chronologically). Once everything is set up, you can choose/make a “theme” (design).

    Of course there are plenty possibilities, especially if you are good with coding (which I am not), so I guess you just do some initial reading in the “Codex” and download a WP pack and have a peek at the files to see if all about.

    Take a look at the default template files, in the default folder in wp-content/themes.

    A great place to start is the codex – http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page – all things WordPress, from soup to nuts, and a Developer Documentation section that should keep you busy for a while!

    Oops – just realized the codex link was already posted…sorry.
