This tutorial series shows you how to build a simple website in Dreamweaver , guiding you through the process of defining the site, building the structure with HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), adding text and images, and styling the pages with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). You don’t need any previous experience of Dreamweaver.
The most common approach to creating a website with Dreamweaver is to create and edit pages on your local computer, and then upload copies of those pages to a remote web server for viewing on the web.

In this first part of the series, you will complete the following tasks:
• Learn about Dreamweaver sites
• Set up your project files
• Define a local folder

A typical Dreamweaver site has at least two parts:
• Local Folder: This is your working directory—usually a folder on your hard drive. Dreamweaver refers to this folder as your local site root.
• Remote Folder: This is where you store your files on the computer that's running your web server. The web server is often (but not always) the computer that makes your site publicly available on the web.

Set up your project files.
When you create a local site, you can place any existing assets (images or other pieces of content) in the local site's root folder (the main folder for the site). That way when you add content to your pages, the assets are there and ready for you to use.

Define the local site folder for your website site
You must define a Dreamweaver local site folder for each new website you create. Dreamweaver needs to know where your site files are to create all the internal links correctly, and to update them when you move files to a different location within your site.
Next, set up the site for this tutorial series, and define as your local site folder the bayside_beat folder you copied into your Sites folder:
1. Start Dreamweaver and select Site > New Site. The Site Setup dialog box appears.
2. In the Site Name text box, enter your website name as the name of the site. The name is used internally by Dreamweaver to identify the site. It doesn't matter if it contains spaces.
3. Click the folder icon next to the Local Site Folder text box to browse to and select the folder that we contact all your word.
4. Click Save. That's it!

The Files panel in Dreamweaver now shows the new local root folder for your current site.
You've now defined a local site folder for the website. This is where you keep the working copies of web pages on your local computer.

Best practices for naming files and folders in a website.
A typical website contains a large number of files and folders. For ease of maintenance, it's important to organize them logically. Create separate, appropriately named folders for images, videos, style sheets, and external JavaScript files.

Welcome to the second part of this tutorial series on creating your first website. In this part, you’ll build the HTML structure for the page using the Insert panel, which generates the necessary code automatically. Although Dreamweaver creates the code on your behalf, it’s important to keep an eye on the HTML structure that’s being created to ensure elements are correctly nested inside each other. After building the basic structure, you’ll add text, images, and links to the page.

Create and save a new page.
In Dreamweaver, make sure website folder is selected in the Files panel.

1. Select File > New.
2. In the Blank Page category of the New Document dialog box, select HTML from the Page Type list, and <none> from the Layout list (these two options should already be selected by default).
3. Check that DocType is set to HTML5 and click Create.
5. Select File > Save, or press Ctrl+S .
6. In the Save As dialog box, make sure you're in your website folder that you defined as the site's local root folder. Dreamweaver should have selected this automatically, but if a different folder is selected, click the Site Root button at the bottom of the dialog box (it's next to the Save button in Windows).
7. Enter index.html in the File Name text box and click Save. The file name now appears in the tab of your new document.
Note: Most web servers treat index.html as the name of the default file in a folder, making it a good choice for a site's home page.
8. In the Document Title text box at the top of your new document, type my first website design.
9. Click the page once to move the insertion point out of the Document Title text box. You'll see that an asterisk (*) appears next to the file name in the document's tab. This asterisk indicates that a file has changed and that you need to save the file if you want to keep the changes.
10. Select File > Save to save your page.

Build the basic page structure
Web pages are built using HTML, which defines the structure of the content. One of the basic building blocks of web page layout is the <div> tag, which acts as a container for text, images, and other page elements, grouping them together so they can be styled in a consistent way.
. Most HTML elements have opening and closing tags, with the name of the element between angle brackets. The closing tag has a forward slash before the element name like this: </div>.

You use CSS to position these grouping elements by adding horizontal and vertical space around them (margins) or inside them (padding). CSS is also used to change the color of text and backgrounds, add drop shadows and rounded corners, as well as other artistic effects.

Insert <div> tags and other grouping elements.
In this section, you’ll build the HTML structure using the Insert panel. It’s best to work in Split view because it’s important to understand the underlying HTML code that Dreamweaver creates on your behalf.
1. Click the Split button at the top left of the Document window to reveal the underlying HTML structure that Dreamweaver has already built for you.
2. All the visible content of a web page goes between the opening and closing <body> tags. Make sure the insertion point is between them.If it isn’t, click anywhere inside Design view on the right of the Document window. This ensures that the HTML code will be inserted in the correct place.
3. If it isn't already expanded, expand the Insert panel by clicking its tab or by selecting Window > Insert.
4. The Insert panel consists of several sub-panels .Open the menu at the top-left of the panel by clicking the down arrow, and select Structure.
5. The Structure category contains all the grouping and structural elements necessary to build the framework for a web page. Click the first option, Div.
6. In the Insert Div dialog box, leave “At insertion point” selected in the Insert pop-up menu, leave the Class text box blank, and type wrapper in the ID text box.
7. Click OK.
The new <div> appears on your page, surrounded by a dotted line in Design view, and with some placeholder text inside.
Note: If you can't see the dotted line surrounding the <div>, select View > Visual Aids, and make sure there's a check mark alongside CSS Layout Outlines. Clicking any of the options in the Visual Aids submenu toggles them on and off.
8. The placeholder text should be automatically selected when the <div> is inserted, so press Delete to remove it. The dotted outline of the <div> should still be visible in Design view, and you should see the insertion point between the opening and closing <div> tags in Code view.
9. If you accidentally delete too much, press Ctrl+Z .
10. In the Insert panel, click Header (it's the fifth item from the top) to insert a <header> element for the main heading and navigation bar.
11. The Insert Header dialog box has the same options as Insert Div. Leave the Insert pop-up menu set to "At insertion point," and enter top in the ID text box. Then click OK to insert the <header> tags and placeholder text.
12. Turn the text you have just typed into a top-level heading by selecting Heading 1 from the Format menu in the Property inspector.

Note: The large panel at the bottom of the Dreamweaver interface is officially called the Property inspector, not the Properties panel.

13. In the underlying code, Dreamweaver wraps the text in <h1> tags, and the heading should be displayed in large, bold text in Design view.
14. Next, add a <nav> element to the page by clicking Navigation in the Insert panel (it's the eighth item from the top).
15. The <nav> element needs to be inserted just before the closing </header> tag. So, set the Insert pop-up menu to "Before end of tag." This activates another menu that lists the <body> tag and all other elements that have been assigned an ID. Open the second menu, and select <header id="top">.
16. Enter mainnav in the ID text box, and click OK.
Note: An ID cannot contain spaces or special characters.
17. Make sure that only the placeholder text inside the <nav> is selected. If the surrounding <nav> tags are also selected in the underlying HTML code, click anywhere in Design view, and then re-select the placeholder text.
18. The navigation menu will be created from an unordered (bulleted) list. So, click Unordered List in the Insert panel (it's the second from the top).
19. Delete the placeholder text, and replace it with Home.
20. Press Enter or Return to add a new list item, and type Sightseeing.
21. Repeat the previous step to add three more items: Eating Out, What's On, and Where to Stay.
Your page should now look like Figure 14. (Check carefully that the <ul> tags are nested inside the opening and closing <nav> tags.).
22. The next element will hold the large image of the Onecentury.
23. Delete the placeholder text in the <div>.
It will look as though the <div> has disappeared in Design view, but you should still be able to see the <div> tags in the underlying code.
24. Click Article in the Insert panel. The <article> element goes inside the <div>, so leave the Insert pop-up menu set to "At insertion point." Leave the other fields blank, and click OK.
25. Click Article again. This next <article> needs to go after the <div>, and it should have the ID main .
27. Next, add an <aside> element by clicking Aside in the Insert panel, and use the following settings:
o Insert: After tag <article id="main">
o ID: sidebar
28. Finally, add a <footer> element by clicking Footer in the Insert panel, and use the following settings:
o Insert: After tag <aside id="sidebar">

The <footer> doesn't need an ID, so leave the ID text field blank.
29. Save the page.
