Create a New Web

FrontPage comes with a large number of templates and wizards to help you create a site quickly. If you want to create a site that is entirely your own work, you can use the One Page Web template.

To create a one page web

When you create a one page web, FrontPage creates the home page only.

• From the File menu, click New then Page or Web...

The New Page or Web task pane is displayed on the right-hand side of the application window.

• In the New section of the task pane, click Empty Web

The Web Sites dialogue box is displayed.

• In the Web Sites list, click the One Page Web icon
• In the Specify the location of the new web: box, type or select a location and enter a name for the new one page web

If the folders in the name you type do not exist, they are created for you.

Note: By default FrontPage creates disk-based webs in new folders within the My Webs folder (a subfolder of My Documents), which is created when FrontPage is installed.

• Click OK

A new one page web is created.

A new page is created called Index.HTM. This blank page is not the home page, but a new page for you to start work with. If you do not want this page, click Close at the top right of the Page View workspace. This closes the page without saving it.

Note: The default home-page name depends on the server's configuration. On many web servers it is INDEX.HTM, whilst on others it is DEFAULT.HTM. Ask your Internet Service Provider for advice.
