I have developed a site using Dreamweaver for my client. &nbsp;It contains 6 pages and incorporates some javascript for a photo gallery and rotating images on the first page, some rounded table cells. &nbsp;It has been designed using tables. &nbsp;I will need to convert some or all of the site to Joomla so that the client can update the information, text, and photos themselves. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
My question for those of who you have done conversions such as this: &nbsp;Should I begin from scratch and convert the entire thing to Joomla? &nbsp;Or, should I keep the site as it is and try to insert Joomla Modules into the existing site? &nbsp;Even better, is there a tool that will help me convert a Dreamweaver template into a Joomla template? &nbsp;<br />

Guidance from experienced Joomla users would be appreciated. &nbsp;<br />
