We published a tutorial on how to create a Custom Page Template in WordPress a while back. Since then we received many requests from our readers to create a video tutorial on this topic so we are following up with a video tutorial covering the basics on how to create a custom WordPress page template.

Why Use a Custom WordPress Page Template?

If you want to create an optimized landing page in WordPress that looks different than a normal page then you need to use a custom WordPress page template. A custom page template will allow you to control every aspect of how a particular page looks like without having to change any design of your blog or switching to a different WordPress theme.

You can use custom WordPress page templates to:

• Create unique looking sales page for your product(s)
• Create your newsletter opt-in page designed for maximum conversion
• Create a landing page for your affiliates
• Create a funnel page to capture leads
• Create a portfolio page
• Create a custom gallery page
• Create a custom join us page for your membership site
• and the list goes on
