First Page on Wordpress

I have used the static front page option on wordpress, and it seems to work very well.
However, what I want, is the first page to be absolutely "static", I mean, at present, it is using the wordpress template, but I want to use my own "html template", completely different from the wordpress template I am using.
Is there any way to do this?

Thanks for replying.

Do you only want to change the index page?

 

Here you go:

You'll find all the different ways to do a static page.

 

Yeah..I might need inner pages as well.

Thanks for the link. will check it out.

I'm pretty sure that all you have to do is name the file that you want "index.html" and put it in the root directory

Then it will go to the .html page before the .php page

then change the blog url in the admin panel

 

To create a completely different front page that doesn't use the WordPress template, just replace your theme's index.php with what you want.

Just go to the "Presentation" tab, then click on the "Theme Editor" subtab. Click on the "Main Index Template" link on the right under the theme files.

Then just replace the code with your own. To do this via the WordPress interface, your index.php for your theme has to be writeable. When you're done, just click on the "Update File" button.

Hope this helps,

No, I did not want to change the blog url.
