Develop a Site Using the Site Management Window

This workshop will cover a great deal of information that you will find very important as you start building your first website using Dreamweaver. If you get stuck on a particular step and are not sure what to do, click on the Additional Help link next to each step for screen shots and additional information. Before you get started, there are a few things that you should keep in mind as you build your website.  When Naming Files Keep all file names in lowercase, with no spaces. (e.g., lesson-one, lesson_one, or lessonone) Get it right from the beginning Build the site correctly the first time. Ensure the remote and the local structure match each other (see example). It is best to keep images that will be used on multiple pages in one folder.  If you are developing a multipage website, and each webpage has graphics that will not be used on other pages, it is best to develop a separate folder for each web page with a subdirectory for the images (see example).

Instructions Additional Help 1. Launch Dreamweaver, then select Site-->New Site. Step 1 2. Fill in the Site Definition dialog box: In the Site Name field type 'course-name' where course-name is the class you are developing the site for (e.g., csmn639, admn625, etc.).  In the Local Root Folder field, navigate to the 'course-name' directory located in the "My Documents" folder on the C:/ drive. Leave Default Image Folder field blank Leave the HTTP Address field alone.  DO NOT hit the OK button after you have entered information into all fields, continue to next step. Step 2 3. Select the Remote Info tab.  Under Server Access menu select FTP. Fill in the FTP Host, Host Directory, login name and password for the server you are using (e.g., Polaris, Nova). Step 3 4. Click the OK button to close the Site Definition dialog box.  Step 4 5. Click the Connect button to connect to the server. Once connected you can move files from the local drive (c:) to the remote server (Polaris). Step 5
