+'''2) templates/tmpl_uni/page_100.html''' (as soon as you specified '''100''' in the previous example, this is how you need to name the HTML page) should contain the following lines:
+
+{{{
+__include _header.html__
+    <!-- here you should enter any HTML or Javascript code for your page for example: -->
+        <h2 class="my_page">Hello</h2>

+__include _footer.html__
+}}}
+
+'''3) templates/tmpl_uni/css/my_page.css''' should contain the following lines:

+{{{
+/* as soon as you're using the my_page class in the previous example, you need to specify it here */
+
+.my_page
+{
+    color: blue;
+}
+}}}
+
+'''4)''' Now you need to make a link to this custom page.
+
+Edit '''''templates/tmpl_uni/_header.html''''' and '''''templates/tmpl_uni/_footer.html''''' and insert the following elements among the other similar ones:
+
+in ''_header.html''
+{{{
+__TOP_MyPage__
+}}}
+
+in ''_footer.html''
+{{{
+__BMI_MyPage__
+}}}
+
+Now edit '''''inc/design.inc.php''' and insert the following lines among the other similar ones:
+{{{
+$_page_cont[0]['TOP_MyPage'] = '<a class="menu_item_link" href="' . $site['url'] . 'my_page.php">' . _t("_MyPage") . '</a>';
+$_page_cont[0]['BMI_MyPage'] = '<a class="bottommenu" href="' . $site['url'] . 'my_page.php">' . _t("_MyPage") . '</a>';
+}}}
+
+Create the language key named '''_MyPage''' and you're done.
+
+''NB: You may need to create more language keys and write more code depending on the purpose of your custom page.''
