If you are a reader of this blog you will surely have read my previous tutorial on how to build an adaptive HTML 5 website. In the previous tutorial we created a website from scratch and we did it the manual way without the use of any framework or grid system. Personally I think it is very important to first learn how to code a website all by your self without using a framework which will take care of many things for you. So be sure to first read through my previous tutorial before continuing here.

Please note! Due to the use of CSS flexbox this website only works in the latest browser versions. Be sure to know that before using Kube for a production website.

In this quick Kube tutorial we will be creating a very simple yet modern and elegant personal portfolio website using Kube. Kube is a small CSS framework using the latest CSS techniques. The grid system is not using any floats but instead the new CSS flexbox which is already supported in current versions of all mayor browsers. In the future using flexbox will be the default way to create layouts in CSS and Kube is already starting now. Kube doesn’t include any JavaScript functionality like sliders, accordions etc. which might be missing features at first sight. But that is actually the strength of Kube because it is kept small and very basic without any fancy designs or features which would bloat the whole framework with stuff we don’t even need.

Welcome to the second part of my tutorial on how to create a WordPress HTML5 template from an existing website. Be sure to read the first part before continuing here.

We have created a new HTML5 WordPress template that currently displays our home page including a menu, that can be customized through WordPress and three new posts for our slider content boxes. The next step is to create new layouts for posts and pages. As explained in the previous part of this tutorial the navigation items “About”, “Contact” and “Portfolio” would link to pages while the “Read more” links would rather link to posts.

In this tutorial we will take the responsive website we have built in the previous tutorials and implement it into Wordpress. Wordpress is a web blog system which was originally created to be able to easily write flexible and adaptable blog posts. In the course of years the range of functions enlarged more and more so that we can now use Wordpress not only for blogs but also as a Content Management System for “normal”…
