I'm promoting an affiliate product and they have some really nice pre-made landing pages in the affiliate area that I would like to try out. Normally I build my own pages with Wordpress, but these look good and I want to use them instead. I downloaded the files for the landing page but where would I actually upload them to? I know how to use FTP and all that, just not sure exactly which folder it needs to go in. Also, I would prefer to still keep it in Wordpress if that's possible because I don't have Dreamweaver or any other HTML editing program and there's just a couple things on the page I want to change. Is it possible to take a static page like this and upload it into a Wordpress style site? Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
The easiest way would be to create a folder in your wordpress directory and upload the landing page and graphics there. If all you wanted to use was the copy you could create a page in wordpress and put the copy there but it won't look the same. There are plenty of free and very functional html editors online or you could just use notepad and edit it that way.
If I were to use Notepad to edit it and not use Wordpress, which folder do I put all the files in? Do I just upload it right to my domain folder under public_html and it'll be ready to go? Or is there some other stuff I need to do as well.
in public_html creat a new folder then go into the new folder and upload all your material into it. Then name the primary page index.html or index.php depending on if the file is html or php. Address the page using the following http://www.yourdomain.com/foldername/ note the trailing slash it means find index page. if you are putting different individual pages for different products i recommend one folder for each but you could put them in one folder and address them this way http://www.yourdomain.com/foldername/pagename1.php http://www.yourdomain.com/foldername/pagename2.php http://www.yourdomain.com/foldername/pagename3.php or http://www.yourdomain.com/foldername/pagename1.html http://www.yourdomain.com/foldername/pagename2.html http://www.yourdomain.com/foldername/pagename3.html dependant on if they are php or html pages. in both cases put images in a sub folder called images if multiple products create folders called images1, images2, images3, to prevent same name confusion. dont forget to address your images on your pages to the correct folder img src="images1/nameof image" img src="images2/nameof image" etc.
the easiest way is to create one main folder then put everything in it and then re-write the urls to be with the main index page
