The concept of Site has two aspects: one is a website, and the other is the directory of the local site defined in Dreamweaver.Usually, the method to establish a site is to create a Website folder on the local hard disk, where all website files are placed.We will create a directory for each site in this folder.Then use Dreamweaver to assign these directories to the site as the root directory of the site.Dreamweaver will ensure that the creation and editing of documents for each site are automatically carried out within its site directory.
Website constructionIt is very important to be able to use and create multiple files and file trees for planning and management.If you didn't consider the location of the document in your website folder when you started creating the document, you may have to face a lot of unorganized folders filled with various files in the end.Any minor editing and modification will waste a lot of your time, so you should try to be careful and comprehensive at the beginning. We usually classify the files involved in planning the website, such as files for download, page image files, database files, etc.Then create folders for various files and put the related files into the corresponding folders. This work can save a lot of time for future site management visits.
A well planned site can speed up the design process of the site and save your time.Planning website structure mainly refers to planning column structure and resource structure.If you expect your website to have further development, you'd better create a folder for each column. Sort HTML files.Otherwise, when the size of the site becomes larger, it will be difficult to find and manage documents.But sometimes the number of personal website pages is not too much.Therefore, all HTML files are placed in the root directory. For website resources, such as images, databases, etc.It's better to classify them. For example, you can put all your images in one place so that you know where to find the image when you want to use it.
Many designers will put all non HTML content used in their websites into a folder named Resource.This folder may contain some other subfolders: such as image folder, Shockwave folder, Real Video folder, zip folder, etc.If there are not many shared resources, you can also set only one Resource folder.
Ideally, your local site and remote site have the same structure.If you use Dreamweaver to create a local site, and then upload the entire local site to the remote site, Dreamweaver can ensure that the structure of the local site will be accurately replicated in the remote site.
