import HTML site asis

[perfectionist12]

We have multiple HTML based sites and before componentize or templatize them we would like to host them as is immediately on AEM and convert them slowly.  Is there a way to just import those site as is and render to end user as basic html files.

In other words I want to use AEM as webserver. Is it possible.

Hello Perfectionist1234,

You could upload your site, into DAM[1] and then configure your Dispatcher[2] to serve your site from DAM.

In this way you would have text/html pages served as they are currently and then slowly change rules in dispatcher to show pages as per normal AEM strategy.
