* Ok, so to create a non-WordPress html page as your front page follow these four
steps:
* 1) Open a text editor and create a page like this
* ```
Static Front Page
Welcome
Thanks for visiting my site. Here you can check out the latest pictures or you can read my blog entries here.
```
* 2)Save this page as splash.php and upload it to the folder of the theme you are
currently using – _example.com/wp-content/themes/sandbox/splash.php_
* 3)Login to WordPress and click “Write”, then “Page”. Write a new page. Title
it Home (or anything). In the Page Template field dropdown, select “Splash Page”(
or whatever you called the template). Now, press “Publish” (not just save)
* 4)In the WP admin area, go to ‘Settings’ and then ‘Reading’. Under “Front page
displays”, select the radio button that says “A static page”. Then, next to “
Front Page”, select the page “Home” (or whatever you titled it).
* Now, the root of your site should be just this plain HTML. Go to the front page
and view soure to make sure everything looks fine and youre done!
