Maintaining the Web site can be an ongoing, time-consuming chore. Dreamweaver simplifies the job with a
group of site management tools, including a library of repeating elements and a file-locking capability for
easy team updates.
Dreamweaver??™s built-in FTP transfer engine is quite robust and now better fits the designer??™s workflow with
its capability to work in the background. Designers are now free to begin a large publishing operation and
return to Dreamweaver to continue crafting pages while the FTP transfer is in process or bring up the log at
any time to view the details.
Speed is another essential aspect in Web site maintenance. With Dreamweaver??™s siteless editing mode, you
can make changes as quickly as you can connect to a server. You don??™t define an entire site if you only want
to alter a couple of pages; just set up a server connection. Dreamweaver lets you access, edit, and publish
the page in one smooth workflow.
Overall in Dreamweaver, Web site maintenance is easier than ever??”and very visual. Take note of the Site
Map feature that enables you to view your Web site structure at a glance and to access any file for modification
(see Figure 2-5). Links are updated automatically or, if a file moves from one directory to another, are
under user control.
