Add at the beginning of your custom page:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Template name
*/
?>
The second template name will the name of your template
Make sure that your template file name is like page_{template-name} and not page-{template-name}.
Also add this at the beginning of the template.
<?php /* Template Name: Example Template */ ?>

I want to create a website using wordpress, but I want my website to have a customized home page, created by me, completely different from the theme of the site, and then link the wordpress pages directly from my page.
Is this possible? How can I achieve this?
Can I simply create the page, and link the other created with the wordpress panel, without breaking everything?
According to official WordPress codex:
If a visitor goes to your home page at http://example.com/blog/, the following happens:
WordPress first determines whether it has a static front page. If a static front page has been set, then WordPress loads that page according to the page template hierarchy.
If a static front page has not been set, then WordPress looks for a template file called home.php and uses it to generate the requested page.
If home.php is missing, WordPress looks for a file called index.php in the active theme's directory, and uses that template to generate the page.
Therefore you just need to create a home.php template and place it with the other theme (which so ever theme you will use) templates and WordPress will automatically start using home.php template for the home page.
Just copy the default page.php template file and call it front-page.php. Change the configuration at the top of that file. Now create a new page called home.
Go to Administration > Settings > Reading panel and set a static front page.

If you create HTML off your home page first than this is easy for you
First Create a file Like this "template-home.php" in your theme.
Now in "template-home.php" First you must write these lines at the top of the page
<?php
/* ==========
Template Name: Home
========== */
?>
After that add your header.php and footer.php like this:
<?php get_header(); ?>
// Your Content is here
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Now your Whole HTML is work between in Header and Footer
Then Go to your Admin Panel
Go to Pages > add new
and create a page named "Home"
NOTE: When you create a page Please Select a Template of Home and "Publish" it.
Then go to Settings > Reading and select "A static page (select below)" radio button, then a drop down is active and select your "Home" Page Then click on save changes.
I hope this will help you
You can create a front-page.php file in your active theme folder.
It can be use for both Your latest posts or a static page as you want.
In my wordpress template I design an intro page and set it as static page, Now in it I want put a button that when user click on it index.php's content would be shown.
index.php is the default template used through Wordpress.
See https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
Just create another page and ensure the page template used is 'Default Template' and link to this page where required. The index.php template should be used by default.
If you have a page.php template, this will override index.php. So in this case duplicate the index.php file, rename to something like page-custom.php and add the following code to the first line of the template file.
<?php
/*
Template name: Custom Page
*/
?>
Now from the 'Page Attributes > Template' drop-down in Page Editor you will see your 'Custom Page' template in the drop-down list
I am designing a website in wordpress. I have 1 custom home page & another are single themed pages. Now I want to add some more landing pages with different design. How can I get this?
create new php file in your theme directory, add this on the top of your php file:
<?php
/*
Template Name: your template name
*/
?>
use the template by choosing page templates on post option.
