DotNetNuke 5 - Are there any best practices for migrating existing aspx-based website into DotNetNuke

Question

Hello,

our website resides on iis-server and is completely written with Expression Web using templates and pure html-pages based on those templates. There's also some slight functionality built using c# in code behind.

Now i've been looking into DotNetNuke 5 as an alternative, so that our content editors (no tech bg) wouldn't have such a hard time when doing updates, adding pages and so forth. Naturally we would like to keep our finely tuned css-layout and maybe add some additional functionality later, probably using DNN modules.

I'll begin with a broad question:

Are there any best practices for migrating into DotNetNuke from an existing website?

Any articles, blogs, webcasts, books etc. related to this question would be much appreciated!

The last one is a bit older - not sure if these will help - I think the thing to do is sit down understand how DNN does its pages and menu etc and then map it out on paper

No matter what going from html to dynamic system like DNN is going to take grunt work
