I would create the page that you want to use as the index page in your wordpress admin panel. Then go to Readings Settings, and select Static Page, then select the new page you just created in the drop down menu to set it as the front page. Click Save Changes and the new index page will now be the first thing that visitors see when they go to your site. Does that solve your problem?
