In Your theme directory You ca put some files, and name them like:

page-homepage.php

page-contact.php etc

Now, each of those files needs to open with:

<?php
/*
 * Template Name: Contact Page
 */
?>

and this header needs to de diffrent for each file (it gves the termplate a name)

Now put any html You like inside (also consider adding get_header() and get_footer(), so You have all necesary scripts and mockup.

After creating those files, when editing a page in WP You can select the file as template.
