Creating a local site

There are two ways to create a new local siteA managed collection of documents, folders, and resource files on the local file system that you intend to publish as a Web site. that is not based on an existing site.

  • If you are new to Web authoring or want to get a basic site up and running in the minimum time, use the Site Wizard. In just a few steps you will have a ready-to-customize site based on the structural template and visual theme of your choice. The wizard constructs a complete set of themed pages for you; all you have to do is fill them in with your own content. In addition, the wizard builds a structural tree for the site and places dynamic navigation bars on each page. You can, of course, add your own pages or remove ones you don’t need at any time.
  • If you need complete control over a new site from beginning to end, use the New Site command to create an empty local site, and then fill it with new or existing documents.
