Creating a New Web

Creating a Web Using the Web Wizard

Open FrontPage and select File|New|Web... from the menu bar or click the small down arrow next to the New button on the standard toolbar and select Web....
Select the type of web you want to create. It is usually best to create a simple One Page Web, to which you can add additional blank pages as you need them. Enter a location for the web in the box provided. This is the location where you can preview the web on your computer. For purposes of this workshop, you'll save the web to "c:\workshop".

(Note that your web will need to be copied to your ISP's web server before it can be viewed on the World Wide Web.)
Click OK and wait for FrontPage to finish creating the web.
Now, let's explore the web you've just created. Click Folders view to see the initial page that was created and two folders. The "images" folder is where you will place all your graphics and photos. While it is not imperative that the images be placed in a separate folder, it helps to keep your web organized.
Click on Reports view to see a list of reports for the site. As you construct your web, this page will be much more useful. From here, you can identify and correct broken hyperlinks and fix large pages that take a long time to load.
View the navigation layout of the web by clicking Navigation view. Right now, there is only one page - the home page - listed. As more pages are added, this page becomes helpful to see how all your pages are linked together.
