Wordpress Sales Page Question

6 replies
I have a question about creating a sales page in WP.

First I'm not a coder. I created my sales page in Mac. Pages. Typical sales page, bullet points, bold text in places, some headings in red ect.

I know I can't copy the text to WP, but is there a easy way to format the text keeping what I have now and place it into WP.

Or do I have to use html code on the whole sales page? And place it in.

I tried using the html in the WP editor by coping to textedit, saving as html webpage and then copy and paste to WP html editor, didn't work.

Really want to finish this today, so any thoughts, ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Z

    In Wordpress when you come to creating your pages or posts you can use the editor in the write panel which enables you to format your text. (not in the html tab)

    Find a theme which is similar to your design, you'll find that if you need to edit the source it will be alot easier.

    With any website, you use CSS not just Wordpress. CSS is easy once you have some experience, the annoying side of it is getting your website to show properly in different browsers. :rolleyes:

      Thanks for the replies.

      If I understand correctly, use the editor in the write panel.

      Bottom line, I'll have to use CSS coding to make the sales page look the I have designed it in Mac Pages.

      I'm up for doing this, was hoping that there was an easier way.

      Thanks,

    Zanti, hi,

    You can do a fair amount of formatting (bolding, different font sizes, font colours, center-align paragraphs, etc) in the Visual view of the Add New Page screen - it works the same way as a Word Processing application.

    Depending on how sophisticated you want to be this may be enough.

    But if you need more, and if you're OK with HTML, then you could try the Raw-HTML plugin.

    I love this plugin because it neutralises the filters that WordPress uses in the HTML view and which sometimes causes WordPress to ignore HTML commands that you use.

    I wrote a review of it here:

    With this plugin you can format your text with either HTML or inline CSS, but you'll need to do it in the HTML view.

    Cheers,

    Martin.

    Just use the word insert and that will retain most of your formatting.

    It's really easy. Just use Header 1, Header 2, etc. to style the sales page. Free one here:

    WordPressSqueezePage.com (can be used as sales page)
