static html page also included?

[dantheman]

Hi,
I like your themes. I'd like to create a static html page based on the theme template. It will act as an intro page.I will modify the page myself but I will need a html/css template. Do your themes include this?

Why not simply install a portal? This will give you a very customizable main page while keeping the look of the theme in tact.

The main page will be highly customised with gfx. A portal doesn't really do what I'm looking for. Is it hard to convert index_template.php to html?

It is for me.

It's not hard if you understand the theme structure and can write html. In fact it's usually quite easy, since the basic structure of a theme's index.template.php is usually quite simple. It's only all the dynamic php stuff and other whatsits that make the template look complicated.

It'd be nice for DS to add that sort of funcionality to already existing themes, for those who don't want to use a portal or just aren't savvy enough to be able to install one.

Portals just cant give the look and feel most people are looking for. I'd be willing to pay someone to build me a landing page I know HTML/CSS but know nothing about SMF's template system or PHP for that matter. PM me if your willing.
