I wish to inquire as to whether or not an existing website can be developed further using K2 or is the software intended solely for a brand new site?

My current webiste is dedicated to Texan country music artist Gene Watson and can be found at www.gene-watson.com

Hi Sean,
I pretty sure K2 can be used quite happily alongside your existing site, which is really cool by the way, you could import your joomla content into K2 but it looks good the way it is, what were you thinking of using k2 for exactly ?

Peter

Thank you for your reply and for stating that you are pretty sure K2 can be used quite happily alongside my existing site.

Thank you for your comment with regard to www.gene-watson.com

My Gene Watson-dedicated website has been online since September 2004 when I developed it initially with Microsoft Frontpage and then Microsoft Expression Web 1.

In late September 2011, I decided to try out Joomla! and successfully launched the present version of the site in April 2012, following months of moving content over.

Thank you for also stating that I could import my joomla content into K2, but that you feel that it looks good the way it is.

With regard to your question, Peter, as to what was I thinking of using k2 for exactly, I'm not 100% sure.

I 'stumbled' upon K2 and thought that it might help me out with my website, where I still have a number of photo galleries, along with archived news from April 2006 onwards, to add.

Sean

Hi again Sean
One of the best advantages with K2 is it makes it very easy to standardize the look of articles / items & with the addition of SIG-Pro (paid) & AllVideo plugins which let you easily add Image Galleries, Movies & Audio, another good feature is the extrafields which saves time & again helps to create a consistent look.

I would suggest duplicating your existing site on a sub-domain & have a play around. Just remember to edit the robots file so it doesn't get indexed by google ect.
