michael,
thanks. I already covered above why I would want to do this because i knew it would sound ridiculous to some people. I hope I don’t offend anyone here being that we ARE in a wordpress forum but I hate wordpress and I just want to edit my website in notepad++ whenever a change is needed and avoid the hassle of wordpress.
i just came up with a solution for the contact form 7 issue, I would just change the form action to mail.php and upload a mail.php file in the same folder as index.html

hi guys

thank you so much for responding so quickly.
Kenny Moore, this will be a purely static website. no comments. it’s just a one page landing page

phillcoxon, all of the problems that you mentioned would occur if the html file were uploaded to a different domain than the domain where wordpress theme was installed. but my intention was to upload the html file to the same domain where the wordpress theme was installed.
so domanin.com would be a wordpress based website and domain.com/something.html would be the html file that i uploaded and I would advertise domain.com/something.html as my website

edit: another thought that i just had: I could delete index.php in root where wp was installed and upload the index.html that i created

now you might be asking yourself “if you went through the trouble of installing wordpress, why not just keep it as your website?” If in the future something needs to be changed in the website, I want to edit the website using notepad++ instead of dealing with the hassle of wordpress.

what problems would occur if I do this?
