How To Create a Website Page in Dreamweaver CS4

Before creating your first webpage, you need to define your website. It's not hard, but it still needs to be done. Find out how in my article: How to Define a Website in Dreamweaver CS4.

Now that you have defined your site and are at the welcome screen, Click File, New...

Select Blank Page, HTML (middle column), and select the template you want (see preview on far right of screen). Hit Create.

This will bring up a save screen. ***NOTE*** You are saving the .css file (cascading style sheet), not the page.
DW2

Create a New Folder.

DW3

Call it CSS, hit Open.

DW4

Highlight the file name.

DW5

Rename the file to Main. This will be your main (and maybe only) .css style sheet.

Here is the page template you selected.

DW7

Change the Title to the name of your business, website, etc.

Create Dreamweaver CS4 page

For this one we will use Example.com. This way your page will not be called Untitled out on the web. You should always name your pages based on what is on the page. But at least if you forget to title your page, you'll have your company name.
