If you are looking for a plain html page for user landing and expect web2py or other frameworks to suit your taste, you are probably looking in the wrong place. Build with plain html and your pages will be plain html. Build with web2py / ROR / django or other frameworks and you will have to learn how they work that makes it a beautiful experience to code in, which I must say, is worth every extra bit of effort -- unless you are building a small site with static pages.
If you are referring to a plain HTML page for a 404 or other errors, you can configure web2py to do that. The file will reside in static/your_page.html and you can call it anything you want. See routes.py / routes_onerror in the book or on this groups. If you are asking how you can quickly and easily insert your carousel from a plain html into web2py so that it works -- it does not take additional time other than copy-paste. I'm assuming you have built and tested your carousel on your plain html page. If your web2py app crashes (runs into an error / creates a ticket), and before that it was working, it would be because of the code you just changed. Change it back and the app will work. Make your changes in localhost and test before you push to production. Web2py never failed me on that.
