Can an Artisteer 3.0 site done in HTML be converted to Wordpress and not lose content?
if so, can an audio file be added to play when the home page loads?
if not, can an audio file be added to the basic HTML home page when it loads
Thanks,
Here's my site

You can convert an Artisteer HTML template to Wordpress theme if you have its saved .artx file but the content you see while designing a template is just dummy and you need to add original content from your WP admin.

 The crisp answer to Robert's question is "No!"
Artisteer creates websites OR themes. But you can’t mix the two. But you can pick up the page content from the html page on Artisteer 3 and copy that into WordPress.
It still leaves you to recreate your menus and sidebars and so on by hand in WordPress.
The answer is use Artisteer or WordPress but don’t mix.
I wonder if Artisteer is as strong as WordPress on add-on and SEO.
I do know that so far you have to hand code a contact page even in Artisteer 3. That and many other WordPress features have made me inclined to try to convert to WordPress for the moment. Also in WordPress you have the "Press" facility.
I am torn because I find WordPress a pain to work with. I would actually rather use Dreamweaver, But my first choice is Artisteer.
The problem is when you done with playing with Artisteer, you have to get the site out there.
But don’t forget that with both Artisteer and WordPress you have Artitsteer.net which can generate a compete site on line. Then you can buy the software and run it off-line until it’s ready to publish. I am told that you can get free hosting with your own domain but its limited space wise. I haven’t tried it.
WordPress has WordPress.com for free hosting and free design, but you are stuck with a WordPress domain name.
An inconvenience in Artisteer that I have not solved, is the spell checker. So I work on content in OpenOffice and copy and paste for Artisteer, which conveniently do take the formatting commands. WordPress doesn’t like MS Word or OpenOffice formatting.

Apropos my previous comment:
Artisteer.net runs online with <yourdomainname>.artisteer.net
Artisteer.exe runs off-line with your own domain name.
Worpress.com runs online with <yourdomainname>.wordpress.com
Wordpress also runs off-line under Bitnami or the other programs that will emaulate the server. That is very powerful. But its not as much fun as Artisteer
