So I bought this PLR product that comes with its own static HTML sales page. What is the best way to add this as a page I can link to on my Wordpress site?

I have like no coding experience so some detailed answers would be much appreciated.

    Just upload the whole stuff in a subfolder> I assume your WP is installed in the root directory (usually, public_html).
    Connect to your server via FTP > rightclick: Make new directory > upload the sales page's files in that directory.

    Your salespage will be at example.com/subfolder-name/

    With the custom Menu feature (which should be in every theme by now!) create a link and add it to your Menu.

    Done.

      Thanks Istvan. Is that all? I did a bunch of searching before checking this thread and actually came across your site and pdf tutorial for the same. Was just about to start with it. Seems a lot more complicated there!

    LOL...I had written one of the easiest way to do this much before but it was deleted ( I wonder why ) that's why you can't read it anymore...

    However I will post it again, this time in much more detail

    Open a new notepad document...

    Copy this on top of the file...

    <?php /* Template Name: Your Template Name */ ?>

    Change Your Template Name to whatever you want.

    Open that HTML file, copy the entire content to this new document you created.

    Save and upload this file to the current theme's directory..( Save it with a .php extension for example new-page.php )

    Upload the css files, js file and images to some folder,

    Fix the url of the css files and images in the new page template.

    Create a new page in wp-admin, name it whatever you want, in the template selection to the right, choose the template you just created.

    Publish and view !

      Thanks schwarzes but I just tried Istvan's method and uploaded all the necessary files to my public_html. I didn't even have to add it to my Menu because my homepage is a static squeeze page. Now everything looks great.

      The only issue is that I don't know how to modify the description of the page in my broswer tab. Right now it just says 'From' lol. Any idea how I can change this?

      Update: Nevermind, I found that section in my HTML editor.

        If you are talking about the meta description, then you have to change that in the html file itself...
