I installed wordpress for blog publish.
but it is the default temple of wordpress.
Is there a way/tutorial to customize wordpress to fit the style of a web site?
Your comment welcome
You can definitely customize your website. There are lots of way to do that.
We will create a child theme, make modifications to the style.css file, the functions.php file, child theme template files, introduce you to theme hooks, and more.

I have a WordPress site and I am using the Hestia theme. There is a file named editor-style.css in my theme directory. I don't know what exactly it is.
Can anyone tell me? Or a link to another website for more details?
It allows you to edit the style of the back end, post editor page. Usually not required, but useful if creating a blog with many authors.
I have a question which I never figured out. If I bought template, lets say Avada or Enfold. How do I customize css? Should I change in css files how I want or there is better way? I saw many websites using avada or enfold in source code, but the website looks way different than original. Which way is best to customize template? Change headers,footer and etc..
The best way to customize your theme is Child Theme. You can do it on your own. Thanks to that you will be sure that you don't modify original files but only something like "copy" which overwrite your original files.
Avada Theme actually has it built-in. After purchase you will receive Avada_Full_Package with a original theme and his child.
One sentence from Avada's documentation: "Always use a child theme if you are modifying core code. "

The template i want to convert is:
http://www.dragdropsite.com/demo/mpurpose-free-multipurpose-twitter-bootstrap-3-template/
it has multiple stylesheets and wordpress doesnt recognise the theme when places in wp-content/themes/ folder
What are the steps involved to convert it?
I wouldn't call it 'converting'. Wordpress themes are not just a simple html/css/js folder structure on the themes folder. Making a website work with wordpress is more involved than that. If you want to do it yourself you will need some experience with PHP. Wordpress's templating system is not very hard to learn but it won't happen on one sit.
I suggest you to take a look at this place so that a skilled person can do it for you

I am in the same opinion with alejandrocavazos. While, it is not easy to create a wordpress theme, converting an existing bootstrap theme will be very difficult too.
But i have an idea. Find a similar wordpress theme. Save it with another name. Page by page edit the theme and copy/paste your theme's content into this wordpress theme. If you make the changes directly on a web server, you can see the changes realtime. I think this is the easiest way to do it.
Good luck.
Yes you can do that, but its quite difficult to convert entire HTML theme into wordpress directly. You need some basic understanding of wordpress and how it works.
There are some good articles available, please go through them. You will surely understand it well and will be able to convert your HTML into wordpress.
I assume here, you are using Bootstrap framework to design your static websites.

3. Creating a WordPress Theme From Static HTML
To Convert a Bootstrap 4 Template to a Wordpress Theme there is some work involved and there is no easier way to do in few clicks.
Start by using a starter theme such as Underscores.
-> Migrate your assets (js/css) from static template to the wordpress starter theme directory.
-> Start moving your page sections one by one (header, nav, page sections etc.)
-> To have more control from Wordpress dashboard, make use of plugins like Advanced Custom Fields, Custom Post Type UI and Contact Form 7.

I'm writing a plugin for a website, and one of the pages on the websites requires a custom template. How can I add a template via the plugin, without having to go into the theme's folder and adding it manually?
Any help would be appreciated.
if you don't want to change the existing theme you can always create a child theme: Wordpress Codex: Child Themes
I have created my own theme in WordPress. In that theme i'm using other plugins ( jQuery Photo slider ). Now I want to use this theme for a different website. Can i save plugins with the theme? First off, is this even possible?
This is my first attempt in WordPress.
You are not allowed to add plugins along with your theme, but you can always send a readme along with the theme, telling the user what plugins you want them to use, or you could just zip the plugins located in the plugin folder and make that as a custom extra choice to apply when using your theme.
