Summary
The first step in creating Web pages with FrontPage is to create a FrontPage Web.
This way, all your files will be organized, connected to each other, and ready to
publish to a Web server. FrontPage Webs can be created on your local computer
hard drive, or on a Web server — a remote computer that makes your site accessible
to others.
You can speed up the process of creating a full-featured Web site by using one of
the FrontPage Web templates. Or, you can start from scratch with an Empty Web
template.
The first page you create in your site is called the home page. FrontPage will usually
assign a filename of
default.htm to this page. You can create a navigational struc-
ture for your site in Navigation view. This navigation structure is used by FrontPage
to automatically create links to your pages when you assign a theme to your page.
Themes also apply formatting, such as color schemes, fonts, and navigation icons,
to your site.
Finally, when your Web site and navigation structure are in place, you can add, edit,
and format page content in Page view.
With that, you’ve got a Web site! From here on out, you’ll learn how to add addi-
tional features, polishing your site to make it more accessible, more interactive, and
more entertaining.
