  Yes, I would agree that the design would work well with Postnuke. As to how, you need to select either the AutoTheme or Xanthia theme engines and learn how to make a theme. It not overly difficult, but the learning curve can be rather steep at first.

  Help with what?
  
  I'm not seeing anything in your topic that say you're stuck on something. Seems to me you haven't started doing anything yet. Do you want someone to make it into postnuke?
  
  The site is there, I see it, so you created it once. Now you want it in postnuke, no problem. Can be done, but start somewhere, and come back when you're stuck.
  
  Good luck ;)

  Zart is correct. There isn't any program that will automatically make a xanthia or AutoTheme theme for you. So your options are to learn one of the systems and make the theme OR pay someone to do it. We're not trying to be smart, but that is pretty much where you stand at the moment.
  
  If you are asking about features and such, then yea I think postnuke would serve you pretty well.

  Ok thanks for the feedback, how would I go about finding someone to help me to the site as Postnuke?
  
  Would be expensive?

  You can likely have a theme made that looks like your current site for around the $250 range. If you need help deploying all the content from your site to a phpnuke site, then you are probably looking at twice that amount.
  
  There are lots of xanthia themers around -- myself included.

  Okay, couldn't be sure if the shtml was produced by you or CMS engine.
  
  Well, the good news is you have your content seperate from your theme, if you are using SSI, so it will not be the hardest thing in the world to convert.
  
  The theme could be 'cleaned up' by CSS. But you could still use your table-based theme if you like. Porting it to Postnuke shouldnt be terrible difficult.
  
  I see that you have been registered since 2004, are you farmiliar with PN?

  Hi AmoDump
  
  Anyway at this time our site www.londonexpo.com is written in a sort of SHTML, bit slap dash.
  
  We were looking at trying to put it into postnuke, the main reason being it seems to open up a lot of functions that we do not already have on the site.
  
  As for previous experience of postnuke, I did have a site on postnuke before for a while and messed around with it a little but never with the themes.
  
  The reason I came off of postnuke was that the site was hacked by someone and when I tried to access it one day, all there was, was a flying flag telling me that we had been hacked, they completely ruined everything and we lost all information so we decided to go back to HTML/SHTML
  
  Hopefully the hacking side has been strengthened now!
  
  Basically I am hoping to get some help to work my way through things and any help is appreciated.
  
  Look forward to hearing from you.
  
  Thanks

  I think the security has improved markedly, but there will always be future hack -- its the way of open source.
