I would recommend providing a link to the site or an example. Also, which theme are you using? – hopkins-matt Mar 30 '15 at 17:57

Hi Matt, the link is Relus.com Theme: Salient – user3582989 Mar 30 '15 at 18:13

Are you trying to use this custom HTML as your main page content for a specific page? Or are you trying to insert into the header, footer, etc.? – hopkins-matt Mar 31 '15 at 19:34

All of the above Matt. Thanks for responding – user3582989 Mar 31 '15 at 19:37

If you are looking to place the HTML in the main page content, just use the text editor of WordPress(http://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/text-editor/). The header & footer would be modified inside the header.php and footer.php files of your theme. the directory where these would be located should be /wp-content/themes/salient/. If you want the header and footer to only be modified only on specific pages, you will want to use the is_page() function built into WordPress(https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page).
Example of limiting header or footer modification to specific page:
<?php if( is_page( 42 ) !== false ) { ?>
<!-- HTML that should only appear on page with id of 42. -->
<?php } ?>
