I'm making a wordpress theme and I'm really trying to avoid just sticking the companys name/address into the HTML in the footer. Is it possible to have a string of text that can be edited through the admin section (like header images)?

I have a theme along with every CSS and JavaScript file. I wanted to apply the HTML theme to my WordPress site. However, I do not need any content from my WordPress to be removed or change from their respective locations.
Is there any way that I can migrate my HTML theme to my WordPress without losing the contents and plugins.
Unfortunately the only solution to this is to manually redesign the WordPress website so it will be like your html theme (or hire a designer to do that for you).
I have a question related to the css sliding underline functionality as described on codepen.io. How can I integrate it into a locally hosted wordpress website? I tried the HTML import 2.0 plugin , but didn't go quite well. Parts of css i can add as extra CSS in theme customizer section, but the underline effect based on the <hr> tag can't be applied, since the html code isn't there for the pre-existing theme menu. How to proceed?
Here is my website, I want to convert into WordPress so that later, from WordPress admin page, I can manage all elements like skill bars, 'P' tags withing skill bars, images, heading etc.

Thank you
I recommend you learn how to create a WordPress theme. A WordPress theme handles how the content you enter in the Dashboard gets displayed to visitors.
I recommend you take a look at The Theme Developer Handbook from WordPress.
Here's a formal tutorial if that suits you better: WordPress Development for Beginners: Building Themes
Good luck!
Suppose you have a landing page that looks different than the main website--ie, different layout, different background, different header.
How can you use such a landing page on WordPress, since WordPress automatically formulates all pages to have the same layout, header, and footer?
Yes, the theme you use dictates the major design points of a site, but you can alter page templates to suit both design and data presentation. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development on how themes and page templates work. Create a new page template for your theme to change the design, and then select that page template for a page.
Or, if you want to keep the raw coding to a minimum, use a plugin to allow you to use two themes on the same site, and select which pages/posts use each theme: https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonradio-multiple-themes/
I can't just add a comment yet in here, but this tutorial was perfect for me when I was needing to create sub pages based off of different templates. http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-create-a-custom-page-in-wordpress/
By using this you will be able to have a different layout, header, etc.
I am pretty new in WordPress and BootStrap CSS framework and I have the following doubt:
I have installed this theme that integrate BootStrap framework and I want to use it as a start point: http://bootstrapwp.rachelbaker.me/
I have change the background color of the homepage changing the background-color property into the body field in a file named bootstrapwp.css inside my theme using FireBug plugin
Ok...my doubts are:
1) Why this CSS file is named bootstrapwp.css and not bootstrap.css as in the downloaded BootStrap 3 framework? And why this file is slightly different form the dowloaded bootstrap.css file?
2) What is the better way to change a style in BootStra? I can change it directly inside my bootstrapwp.css or is better do it in another file overriding this behavior?
Tnx
Andrea
Andrea:
There are a lot of answers for your questions but I will work to simplify it for you.
First, what the developers are trying to do is get Bootstrap functionality within the Wordpress CMS. They are two entirely different animals. Bootstrap consists of individual pages that must be hand coded. Wordpress is a Content Management System (CMS) where you can apply a style, theme, sidebar, template or widget and have it appear on every page site-wide.
So, what the developer is doing is using the bootstrapwp.css file to handle the CSS for the entire Bootstrap themed Wordpress site. Remember, this is NOT a Bootstrap site. It is a Bootstrap themed Wordpress site that seeks to incorporate the functionality and design of Bootstrap within the confines of the Wordpress Codex.
If you're running a Wordpress site, the best way to change a style is always going to be in the CSS file provided by the child theme.
You can try Impulse Press. It's the most complete Wordpress Bootstrap 3 starter Theme
Take a look at the demo impulsepress.twoimpulse.com
with this you can change your css style in bootstrap-theme.css and don't touch bootstrap.css , so when we have an update it doesn't ruin your site styles
And Vincent Polisi is right, you can also make a child theme and get Impulse Press always updated
