how create a custom url in wordpress for page with slash like /se/pagename

I added a page in wordpress. Wordpress created a url like
https://mywebsite.com/page-title
but I want to change this url like https://mywebsite.com/se/page-title
My Permalink Settings shows https://mywebsite.com/sample-post/
and website is already indexed on google so I can't change my paramlink setting.
I also tried with htaccess and also from wordpress add_rewrite_rule() but no result is coming.
Any help how can I do this?
The simplest way to make your page url like www.example.com/se/se1 instead of www.example.com/se1 is to create page se and se1 make as child page of se.
With this option you'll saved your wordpress website permalink structure, you'll in not need to change your other pages redirects for google indexing

Custom Wordpress search and query url

I try to create a custom search page in a Wordpress website. I read a few tutorials on Google and I have almost finished with it.
My theme uses the index.php page for the search results. So, I duplicated it, rename it to searchpage.php, made it a template and created a page with this template in Wordpress admin.
Then, I changed the action on the Search form to use the new page of /search.
If I manually try the /search/test/ it works. If I use the widget it redirect to /search/?s=test and returns a 404 page.
Is there any way to make both works or prevent the widget to use the second?
Also, the /search/test still uses the index.php layout instead of the searchpage.php
In order to overwrite index.php as the default search results page you'll need to name your file search.php

Wordpress - all pages link to the index.php file

[NEW AT WORDPRESS]
I'm creating my own wordpress theme with own css etc etc. I've managed to get everything good in the index.php file, and I'm trying to make the other pages as well now.
When I make the home.php, blog.php, about.php and contact.php file (in my theme folder) they don't link to it. I'm following the "WordPress 3: Creating and Editing Custom Themes with Chris Coyier" on Lynda.com and the example shows that whenever you make a file with the same name as your page, it takes that directly (which works at his tutorial).
Anyone that could know what is going on?
Example:
I got a file blog.php in my theme folder, and when I go to www.mydomain.com/blog the loaded file is the index.php file, instead of the blog.php file
There are two ways you can get this working using custom page templates.
Create a template for one specific page using the page slug or ID. In this case, change the name of the php files like this to match the name of the page you created in the UI: page-home.php, page-blog.php, page-about.php and page-contact.php
Much more flexible is to create a custom template that can be used on ANY page. Just add the template name to the top of the php file like so (inside the php block):
/*
Template Name: My Home Page Template
*/
Then edit the pages and select your custom template from the template dropdown menu (on the right hand side I think, if its visible).
Reference this page for more info: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/
Found the solution to my (silly) problem.
Creating a page in your theme directory & adding the template comment at the top of your php file isn't enough. You need to go to the admin panel->pages->YOUR PAGE-> and check out the page attributes. There you can link the page to a certain template: http://d.pr/i/a0m0

Adding my own static webpage to a wordpress site

If my title wasn't clear, basically what I'm trying to do is to add my own HTML or PHP page to Wordpress, so i can play around with some web dev.
So essentially I just want a test page/pages added to my site. However since I have installed Wordpress on my website, I can't just add "index.html" to my root folder using my FTP client. I wonder if I can/can't do this and if so how to link to the pages I add using FTP.
Sorry if this doesn't make any sense. I just want to add some of the sites I've already made / ones I am creating to my site so I can easily show clients/employers what I can do, and I apologize again if I'm being an idiot.
Create a sub-directory in your root folder and then simply link to it:
www.domain.com/mysubdir/index.php
the other way to do this... create a page template in wordpress
create a php file named: template_mypage.php
You must put this php comment line at the top of your template file:
/* Template Name: My Page */
go to wordpress backend and create a new page
in the "Page Attributes", you can find a drop down list named "Template". In the list, you should be able to find "My Page"... select it and then save your page.
view it!
You can always create a subdomain or create a folder inside public_html/www/ and redirect it from any other domain or from any static link you have on wordpress
Why not use WordPress and put your portfolio together using Custom Post Types? I recently presented on this and there is a handy plugin for Custom Post Types UI that you can create a whole new section of your site and make templates for your portfolio.
Just a thought.
If you do a static page in WordPress, you can still template using the Page system as specified in another comment. Code your page, separate it into header, footer, content, etc files. You can load the file to your root, but not name it index. If you do a subfolder, you need to not have an existing page in WordPress.
HOWEVER, you can still do a "halfway" static page still using WordPress and do a header-staticpage.php, index-staticpage.php, and footer-staticpage.php and make sure to include the code for WordPress header and footer in the new header and footer so you can still reap the benefits of the default jquery that WordPress allows. Don't forget to name your template and when you create the page in WordPress, you can just leave the content area blank if you have hardcoded the page's content in.
I still recommend trying Custom Post Types. It is not hard and there are some great presentations in Slideshare that cover this aside from the plugin I mentioned earlier in this comment.
