Using concrete5 for just part of an html site

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I would like some advice about whether it's possible (and "how to approach") just making concrete5's editing capabilities for just part of a site.

I have a plain HTML site. Most of the pages don't need to be updated too often so I would like to leave it as is for now. However, there are a few pages that I need to make easy to edit or update.

Is this possible with concrete5? I would like to not have to "recreate" those static HTML pages if possible (i.e. leave the same url for those pages, leave them as html). Would the "concrete5" part have to be in a different folder from everything else?

A recommendation of how to best approach this would be great!

Yes this is possible. You just need to copy those html pages to your root directory where the concrete5 installed. Then put an external link with to the nav menu. likehttp://www.yourc5site.com/youroldhtml.html...

It will be treated as external page.

Good to know, thanks this helps a lot!

By "nav menu" do you mean this can be done with the manual nav addon, or also with auto-nav through the site map?

There are two ways to do this.
1. You can create a nav menu & put external link.
2. You can create a page & in your .htaccess file you will locate it to your external through 301 redirect.

Additionally for nav menu, you can use superfish dropdown menu.
