Warrel, Ard thanks to both of you,
I read all documentation on Hippo site and i'm familiar with cocoon (not as you of course, but understand principle and xsl transformations). As every beginner at something new i'm just a little confused and can't see some points you see clearly. And some qustions :-) 1) Do you make new hippo sites with cocoon project wizard? 2) I can't install project wizard, command "maven clean cocoon:deploy" get failed 301 status I went to ibilio and there is no hippo-cocoon directory under maven, i have installed all before it (svn maven cocoon plugin hippo repo hippo cms etc). 3) Would you explain me, in short, process for site creation. I have Photoshop pages from designer, than i give it to web designer to translate it to HTML/CSS with correct div tags. AND what then.Just short,not full explanation, i'll read everything twice to solve it. Thanks in advance, Denis Balog.
