Chip is correct that "You can't just design your website on cards and have
it convert to a website", but you can run stacks with multiple cards as a
revlet using the RunRev plugin.  There are currently limitations with which
browsers, but for the ones it works on, it works great!  I don't do
html/css/php, etc.  I use LiveCode 100% and publish as revlets, and this
makes database access a breeze.
