From the very start, Pulse was designed to be "bolted on" to an existing site to add content management. But now, you can also use the included frontend template to rapidly build and deploy a website incorporating all the features Pulse has to offer. You can literally set up an entire functioning website in minutes, all managed by Pulse Pro on the backend. If you want to continue using your own template, no problem, just copy only the pulsepro folder to your server and ignore the rest.
