By using visualforce pages we can override standard buttons. This example helps you to understand how you can overriding standard button with visualforce page.  In this example i am creating visualforce page called “newopportunitycreatepage”  and I am overriding standard new button with above created visualforce page.
  
<apex:page standardController=”Opportunity” sidebar=”false”>
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock title=”Opportunity Detail”>
<apex:pageBlockbuttons >
<apex:commandButton value=”Save Opportunity” action=”{!save}”/>
</apex:pageBlockbuttons>
<apex:pageBlockSection title=”Opportunity Information 1″ columns=”2″ collapsible=”false”>
<apex:inputField value=”{!opportunity.Name}”/>
<apex:inputField value=”{!opportunity.Active__c}”/>
<apex:inputField value=”{!opportunity.DeliveryInstallationStatus__c}”/>
<apex:inputField value=”{!opportunity.TrackingNumber__c}”/>
<apex:inputField value=”{!opportunity.CloseDate}”/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockSection title=”Opportunity Information 2″ columns=”2″ collapsible=”false”>
<apex:inputField value=”{!opportunity.Description}”/>
<apex:inputField value=”{!opportunity.LeadSource}”/>
<apex:inputField value=”{!opportunity.NextStep}”/>
<apex:inputField value=”{!opportunity.Type}”/>
<apex:inputField value=”{!opportunity.StageName}”/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
