We currently run a UK news website on an legacy CMS (Article Manager - from [login to view URL]), and as there is no way to convert the current CMS database into Wordpress format (we've tried), we need someone to manually copy around 1200 articles into Wordpress, maintaining the same categories and dates that appear on the current site.
Our main aim is to get the content transferred into a development folder on our server, not to create a new site design at this initial stage.
The site is located at contracteye(dot)co(dot)uk
I am ready to start the work and would give you the files for the wordpress which can be imported to your existing database without issues.
Please do check my PM for further info
