Working in this mode enables you to make quick corrections
to a page and transfer files, but many of Dreamweaver??™s special features
require that you establish a local site.
As I describe in this chapter, each time you begin developing a new site, you
define several initial parameters, including the chosen server model (provided, of
course, you are creating a dynamically driven site, such as a Web application).
These steps lay the groundwork for Dreamweaver to properly link your local
development site with a remote online site, as well as to link properly to your
data sources (again, for dynamically driven sites). This chapter begins with a
brief description of approaches to online design, aimed primarily at those who
are just starting to create Web sites. The remainder of the chapter is devoted to
the mechanics of setting up your site and basic file manipulation. You also learn
how to connect directly to servers, without establishing a local site.
