1. Templates!

   Create a blank .php file called whatever in your theme folder, put in the following at top:

   <?php
   /**
   * Template Name: My very own template!
   * Description: Look pah! I made a template!
   */ 
   get_header();
   ?>
   Whatevercontent you want the page to have, could get content from the wp_editor like this:
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>
   

   Create a new page in the admin area, check your right for “Page Attributes”, in there you will find a “Template” dropdown, chose your own template here “My very own template!” it would be called in this situation.

   Now that page will load the php code in the template file.
