Answers.Text: @DotSquares Yes, but you won't get a step-by-step guide with code to copy and paste here. Please read the documentation articles I linked and consider the caveat below the line. Then build your plugin as far as you can and if you hit specific problems, post it as a question.

Answers.Text: @DotSquares So do you want to overwrite the homepage or the 404 page? It sounds like you're going down the wrong rabbit hole. Maybe post post some more information in what you're trying to do with this plugin, I'm sure there is a better solution.

  You can inject HTML to the end of the body using [View Events](https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/2.0/en/structure-views#view-events):
  
  ```php
  use craft\web\View;
  use yii\base\Event;
  
  Event::on(
      View::class,
      View::EVENT_END_BODY,
      function() { echo 'Foobar'; }
  );
  
  ```
  
  The output of this function will appear wherever the [`endBody()` function](https://craftcms.com/docs/3.x/dev/functions.html#endbody) is placed in the `index.twig`. The event will even work if the template doesn't contain this function, because Craft will dynamically insert it before the `</body>` end tag.
  
  If you want to register CSS or JS assets, use the methods `registerCssFile` and `registerJsFile` on `\Craft::$app->view` instead. There's also a [`registerHtml` method](https://docs.craftcms.com/api/v3/craft-web-view.html#method-registerhtml) that achieves the same as the hook above.
