Thanks very much for the reply BrendonKoz! Although I can muddle through a little bit of hand coding (php and html) I prefer to use Pinegrow's functionality as both a visual page builder and code editor in one for designing. The code produced is very clean. What I hoped since PW's templating system is so flexible, is that it would be easy to switch between the two, but as you say, I may be complicating something that was designed to be simple in PW. Thanks again for the suggestions!

Hi PW Community- I only very occasionally am involved with web design. I've built a couple small sites with PW in the past, but it has been several years. As I update my own personal site, I would love to use PW again instead of Wordpress. I'm hoping to find the simplest strategy to use my web design software (Pinegrow) for building pages that I will convert to PW templates. The site will be mostly static with 10-15 pages, but will use Hanna Code (which I think I can already add in the Pinegrow editor) to add some additional functionality. WHAT I HOPE IS POSSIBLE - I would like to create an entire bootstrap site in Pinegrow, and export all pages and necessary files into a PW templates subdirectory. Then in PW I will create a template file for each html page in my site, and pull the code from the page into its corresponding template file. Once this initial setup is complete, I should be able to work in Pinegrow to make design changes to the site, and simply upload any edited html files back into the templates subdirectory. HELP NEEDED - 1. First, is this even a logical way of doing this? I am not directly converting the original html page files to templates to save myself from having to convert back and forth from php every time I want to edit in Pinegrow. 2. What would be the best way to copy each page's html code into the corresponding php template file? Would it be to use 'includes', or is there a better way? Please help with the php syntax for the template file. 3. Will links created in Pinegrow be a problem inside a PW template subdirectory? Would I have to make all my links absolute in Pinegrow, or would relative links work? Thanks in advance! -Stephan
