ruby on rails with html templates

i am making a ruby on rails web application, and before i even started the rails project, i designed the whole thing with html css and java. now, all i need to do is add sign in sign up and post blog stuff. to do that i need to put the website that is already made into a rails project, what changes would need to be made to the html to make it work exactly like it did when it wasnt in the rails application?

RoR uses Views that are ERB files. So for instance, your index.html becomes index.html.erb and your contact.html becomes contact.html.erb. These go into your views folders, are tied to a specific controller and action via the routes.rb file, and have an underlying model if needed.

Those would be the changes needed.
