Landing Page WordPress

plovs answers:

You have several options:

If you are handy with php then creating a custom template would be the way to go, it will give you the most flexibility, and is (arguably) faster then using a plugin.

- http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

If you prefer a plugin then this one might be a start: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/site-layout-customizer/

Third option, you can add the following to your functions.php:


add_filter( 'page_template', 'wpa3396_page_template' );
function wpa3396_page_template( $page_template )
{
if ( is_page( 'my-custom-page-slug' ) ) {
$page_template = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/custom-page-template.php';
}
return $page_template;
}


Create a page with the slug (page-link): my-custom-page-slug, set tht page as the home-page, and create a separate page with dreamweaver that looks exactly how you want it. In the snippet that new page is called: custom-page-template.php
