Getting Started - Basic Web Page Tutorial
Window Elements
While Dreamweaver can look very intimidating when it is first launched it is a easy program.
Dreamweaver know that your files must be organized and will help you save the files into the
folder you use. The illustration below highlights the main areas you will be using when creating
web pages. In the Panels groups, the panels can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the
expander arrow to the left of the panel name. The main panel is the Files panel.
If you do not see these areas on your screen, or if you want to display other panels you previously
closed, go to the Window menu and select the appropriate options to bring them back on the
screen. Example: Window, Insert, Properties and Files should all have check marks beside
them.Defining Your Site (part 1)
The very first thing you should do is define a site to organize your web pages. Doing so lets you set
up, or define, all of the settings necessary for publishing so the process will ultimately be as easy as
clicking one button. But you must realize that when you create web pages, you will be working with
two sets of files - the local files (used for editing, works-in-progress, and publishing) and the remote
files (already published and available web pages). You must do both part 1 and part 2.
Student Tips: Even if you have already started a web page you must do this each time
you sit down at a new or different campus computer, otherwise Dreamweaver will not
be able to publish your pages.

2. A Manage Sites window appears, click on New, Site. (See

seen in examples shown below….
