HTML to Wordpress.

[hargi]

What would be the best way to go about this.
I have a static HTML site which I now want to convert to a wordpress site.
The HTML site has been submitted to google and as all the links on there.

How would you go about making the wordpress version while keeping the HTML site live... then how would you do the transfer so there is little down time?

Also how would it work so all the Search Engines reflect the new site Would it be a redirect?
TIA

Cheers Mark no its not the site in my link.

Theres only 9 pages at the moment but need to expand to WP as i need a blog section.

I was meaning do i install wordpress in the root directory of my current site. More that kind of logistics?
