how to create a squeeze page theme in a wordpress theme?
18.March, 2010
I want to create a squeeze page on my wordpress blog www.mysite.com, but I don’t want to use any theme for the squeeze page.
I think you just answered your own question. If you want to make a page "in a wordpress theme", you will be bound by the WordPress software. Any page or post you create will automatically inherit the selected theme. You could go with a really minimalistic theme, but then your entire site would be minimalistic.
However, here’s something you can do. I do this all the time. Build your squeeze page as a standalone page outside of the WordPress realm. Then get yourself a redirect plugin. I use Quick Post/Page Redirect. It creates a widget on the edit page for both posts and pages. Then just set up the redirect to point to your squeeze page. That way it gives the appearance that it’s a post or page in your blog, but clicking on the post or page title actually redirects you to the squeeze page, where ever you decide to put it.
It sounds as if you might be an internet marketer. You can easily make your own themes with a WordPress theme builder. I’ve been doing my own themes since last summer and I’ll never go back to making an HTML site.
