A question about Kirby

The CMS Questions

Hi, I’ve been working on an html template and it’s almost ready for publishing. The client has now asked for a blog. The template comes with a blog layout, but obviously with it being html it isn’t a functioning blog.

The basic template is here: Blog - Fit Bone - Physiotherapy and Massage Therapy Center HTML5 Template

I’m looking for a solution to get a working blog. Looking at Kirby I think it could be the software for the job. Could anyone confirm that Kirby could use the blog design from the html template.

PS. Wordpress isn’t going to be an option

HTML templates can usually quite easily be converted into PHP templates for Kirby. The stuff that is repeated in the HTML template usually goes into a loop in PHP. But of course, you would have to “extract” a data model from the HTML template to be able to create the fields etc. you need in blueprints for the Panel, Kirby’s admin backend. For articles, this is usually not very complete: textfield, author, date, category, maybe tags.
