Website Development & Hosting

The Standard and .ormatting toolbars provide easy access to the commands you will use most

often when working with .rontPage; they are displayed by default. 

The icons on the Views Bar provide different ways of looking at the information on your page or

in your web page. You will notice in the upcoming tutorials that as you work with .rontPage, you

will frequently switch between views to match the current task at hand   from the early steps of

page creation to the web publishing stage.

When you start .rontPage, Page view is displayed by default. Page view is a powerful editing tool for

creating  and  designing  web  pages.  As  you  enter  text,  place  pictures,  insert  documents,  create

tables, make lists and design the overall appearance of your web pages, Page view displays them

as they will appear in a Web browser. All the html code is automatically created in the background

and, in future tutorials, we shall show you how to manually edit your html code so as to change

the appearance of your page.  

2.

Close the  new_page_1  window that appears by default.

.or this tutorial, you will create a website with seven pages (including the homepage).

Until  it  is  published  for  the  first  time,  a  website  is  a  work  in  progress.  Unlike  printed  letters,

memos, and word-processing documents, websites can be dynamically changed or updated even

after they have been published. You can add, delete, and modify text, pictures and entire pages at

any time.

3.

Create a new website: .ile > New > Web.

4.

Select Empty Web. Rename your web as :\My Documents\My Webs\testweb

( shall be either C or D or E, depending on which drive you are using). Click

OK.
