If you're converting a site to WordPress run the above command, on the command line, in your bare bones (starter theme) directory. It should create an index.html file and download images, CSS, JS files.. You then split out that index.html file, to make the header, sidebars etc

This will only work on a machine that has wget installed.

It won't do 100% of the work as it may miss assets fetched in scripts etc but its a great starting point.
