If it''s really something spit out of frontpage or some other end user
design
tool, *I* would pretty much start from scratch; but that''s just me.
If you really want a quick and dirty convert job ...
Grab the stylesheet and images and stick them in their respective public/
folders, save a ''view source'' of the main page and copy that
to
layouts/application.rhtml.
Edit to clean up image and stylesheet references to new pathing, add your
dynamic layout tag to the application.rhtml.
You''ve now cloned the look of the old site ... start on your models and
controllers.
Really though, just rewrite it ;)
