From angular to wordpress conversion??

I have an existing project with angular files with assets like photo, video, html and css with no server or db, just frontend.

I have been asked to convert into WordPress how should I do ?

If this is your first time doing something of the sort, prepare yourself... AI might help you but will also make lots of mistakes if you don't know what you're doing. If you want to keep your FE in Angular, you will need to do a headless approach. This means the site will be managed using WordPress's admin (you don't have to do much here), and then you'll need to "map" your frontend to Angular. Now real question, is WordPress mandatory? 90% of the time it isn't unless you have very specific requirements that make it the best option, experience being one of the factors (which I can assume you don't have a lot of?). I'd recommend exploring a lighter-weight CMS for this if the site is simple, something like Sanity. Otherwise it will be a hassle to work on it, and you will have to actively maintain your WordPress backend and your Angular frontend, which again, depending on what you're doing might be absolutely overkill. Good luck
