Thanks guys for all your help and advice but I will have to think about this for the following reasons. 1. My tech knowledge is not that great. 2. My site already has over 500 pages and without a script I can see that this may take some time not only to learn PW but to strip the elements out of WP that I no longer want or need such as the blog side of WP, comments etc. 3. I have already moved my site from Joomla to WP and even though I used a script it took me a lot of work and several weeks to transfer and find the right theme that I wanted. I make full use of tabs and toggles in WP and have no idea how I would do the same in PW. 4. I know that my site in WP is slowed down because of all the extra elements both in the theme and WP itself and it may be better if I have a go at removing those before thinking of moving again. 5. Although I enjoy the designer role, my site is about the country of Poland and writing about the places but I find that much of my time is spent in administration duties which sometimes leaves me with little time to write content. May be i should be thinking of going back to good old fasioned html static pages like I use to do with copy and paste as my main tool? (a pain though if you ever wish to change the design). Time will tell.

Further to this thread i have found a plugin within Wordpress that takes the WP site and makes it into a static html site. Could this static html site be transferred to PW? If yes how please. I am sure it would be of interest to a number of others. I have uploaded the files of this static site here, if anyone would like to have a go at converting them to PW. I will have a go myself but am very new to PW so would appreciate some help. wp-static-html.zip

Thanks for the good advise kongondo - I have found the following http://wiki.processwire.com/index.php/Basic_Website_Tutorial and will work my way through it. i do not use all the objects of the theme so once i have learned how to create under PW I will consider if it is worth the time and effort to transfer the 500 pages i already have on WP.

Hi to all I have just down loaded PW to a local WAMP server in order to try it out. The install was very quick and easy - thanks A little background if I may. I am not a developer or coder and have been used to Joomla (got tired of constant revisions that do not migrate very well) and more recently Wordpress which is great but I only want CMS for sites, not interested in blogs and comments. So I have been looking around for a way to set up a site that is clean, simple but looks good and can handle many pages (1000's). The site in question is Poland Explorer The design (theme) I have is fine but it is also designed for other things that I do not use and so the speed and efficiency is affected by extra code that is sitting there but not used. In other words the site is slower than it need be. PW may be my answer but I am a little confused at the moment and need some help from you good people. Let me explain why - The WP theme I am currently using has the following files, 4 folders (framework, images, js and languages) and 25 PHP files and 1 CSS style file. How do I convert the WP theme into PW so it will look the same as it does in WP. Where and what files do i place into PW? Please accept my apologies as this will be obvious to most if not all of you but I am use to just uploading a theme/template and letting Joomla/WP do the rest. I have some very basic knowledge of html/css and will work my way through the files in the future to weedout the bits I do not want, but for now i would like to find out how I can transfer this theme to PW. Thanks
