Now you have to convert static HTML into WordPress theme here. Choose your static HTML theme wisely and start copy past the data from static HTML files to WordPress files.
We go with the static HTML https://github.com/LearnWebCode/university-static
So download this HTML and start copying index file data, data of header.php , footer.php
To load the CSS & JS, you have to create some functions in theme’s functions.php file. You have to use functions like wp_enqueue_style() & wp_enqueue_script()
So start copying data from HTML to theme files and keep rest data as static for now into theme files. we will later on change those.
At this stage remember some of wp functions.
| wp_enqueue_script() | Link a script file into a theme. What arguments we pass and to know more check this blog post |
