    No. If you want a Wordpress website, buy a good theme and get to work.

    Probably not. WordPress is its own world, use Wordpress tools.

    Yeah didn't think it was gonna be so easy, the thing is I have so much design control with Indesign and with wordpress sites they all look like templates and I wanted to create a digital magazine the would resemble the print version so I wanted to translate the mag in wordpress since Indesign has the tooling in HTML5 and Publish Online feature.

    I don't know much about Wordpress, but it seems to be its own world. I see that if you have HTML5 people sell converters from HTML5 to Wordpress, so you'd be trying to push through many layers of conversion. Detailed design control is kind of alien to the web world anyway; you can only suggest, not control like a PDF or printed page. If you're reaching the limits of Wordpress, you might consider moving to HTML sites and an HTML editor (NOT InDesign; that's a poor third best HTML editor).
