Introduction

Have you designed a website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and now want to convert it into a dynamic WordPress website?

WordPress makes it possible to turn a static HTML design into a fully manageable website where content such as the logo, navigation menu, blog posts, images, titles, and other sections can be controlled from the WordPress dashboard.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to integrate custom HTML into WordPress and make it dynamic using a custom WordPress theme structure, PHP, WordPress functions, and custom fields.

This method is especially useful if you already have a custom website design and don’t want to rebuild the entire design using a page builder.

What Does It Mean to Make Custom HTML Dynamic in WordPress?

A static HTML website contains fixed content.

For example:

My Website

Welcome to my website.

If you want to change the title, you need to edit the HTML file manually.

A dynamic WordPress website works differently. Instead of hardcoding the content, you can use WordPress functions to retrieve information from the database.

For example:

Now WordPress automatically displays the title of the current page or post.

This is the basic idea behind converting a static HTML website into a dynamic WordPress website.
