Squeeze Page / Word Press Question

Okay folks, Im a dummy when it comes to this tech stuff. I'm using wordpress on my website. I want to create a squeeze page. (this is for my magician website) I would like to still use wordpress with this squeeze page because of the SEO etc.

Someone told me to go here: https://www.instapage.com/templates/ and just create my page and forward my domain. I know that is an option, however, I would use the SEO value of the wordpress site. So, how does a dummy like me (haha) create a squeeze page like one of those templates and still use wordpress?

Thanks,

Mark

    Your best bet would probably be to outsource. A good place to start is Fiverr (only $5) but it's usually hit or miss. Stick with top rated sellers and you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.

    There's also ODesk, Elance, Guru, Freelancer . com etc. -- plus a place here on the Warrior Forum you'll want to check out: Warriors For Hire

    If you think you'll be making many more squeeze pages, sales letters, etc in the future then outsourcing all these projects can obviously get expensive. You may want to invest in a wordpress plugin like OptimizePress (I use one called FunnelKit) and create them yourself. May sound intimidating but they keep the "average joe" in mind when designing these and are actually pretty simple to use. Doesn't require you to know any code like HTML, CSS, JavaScript or anything like that.

    Hope that helps

    Create it yourself for free using Lubith Wordpress Theme Generator, Editor, Template Creator - Lubith.com (not an affiliate link). It's always my first stop for template creation.

    That is awesome. Does this make sense to everyone? That first company offers to help with SEo and such but you pay them a monthly fee. My thought is, why pay for something wordpress gives me. I like the idea of a squeeze page but I can't see the point of missing out on all the other stuff wordpress offers.

    It is possible to have the Instapage template installed on your domain itself - so you can still use Wordpress. They have a plugin for Wordpress, so the landing page will be hosted on your website.

    Mark,

    There is a way to do what you're asking. I will explain it. If you don't think you can do this, go to Fiverr and hire someone for $5 to do it for you. It's really not difficult if you know how to FTP.

    This will create a totally blank page in Wordpress - no header, no footer, nothing. It will put a template called "blank page" into your Wordpress site (right next to all the other page templates) so you can use it for squeeze pages or anything else you want.

    Here we go.


    Copy and paste the following six lines of code into Notepad or an HTML editor:


    <?php
    /**
    * Template Name: Blank Page
    */
    the_post(); the_content();
    ?>


    Save the file as "blankpage.php" (no quotes)

    Use your FTP program to find the WP theme you are currently using and upload the "blankpage.php" file to the /wp-content/themes/twentyeleven folder (or whatever your theme name might be).

    The "blankpage" template will now show up in your "template" dropdown list on the new page menu.

    That's all there is to it!

    Good luck to you,

    Steve
