Summary
In this chapter, you learned some options for planning your Web site and what you need to do in
Dreamweaver to initialize the site. As you plan your site and set up your servers, keep these points in mind:
n Put as much time into planning your site as possible. The more clearly conceived the site, the
cleaner the execution.
n Set up your local site root in Dreamweaver right away. The local site root is essential for
Dreamweaver to properly publish your files to the remote site later.
n If you are creating a Web application, choose one server model per site and set it when you define
your site. This step is needed so that Dreamweaver knows the type of server code to write.
n Although necessary for many operations, you don??™t need to define a site to work with a Web page.
If you have the required connection information, you can work directly with files on a server.
Opening a file from a directly connected server copies the file to your local system; when you save
the file, Dreamweaver automatically puts it back on the server and removes the local version.
n Get started quickly with any of the 32 CSS-based layouts, available through the New Document
dialog box.
