How to Make Email With Dreamweaver

A direct email link helps customers contact you with a minimum of effort.

Adding an email link to your website makes it easier for visitors to your site to contact you directly. When a user clicks on the email link on your site, his default email client automatically opens and creates a new email addressed to you. Use Adobe's Dreamweaver Web development program, which is part of the company's Creative Suite software package, to insert an email link into your website's contacts page.

Instructions

1. Launch Dreamweaver. Click "File," then "Open." Click on the Web page file to which you want to add the email link, then click the "Open" button.

2. Click on the Web page at the point where you want to add the email link. Open the "Insert" menu and click "Email Link."

3. Type the text you want to use for the email link into the "Text" field. Type the actual email address into the "Email" field. These two fields are usually identical; however, you could also set the Text field to "Email me," or a similar message, and the Email field to "[e-mail]."

4. Click the "OK" button to insert the email link into the Dreamweaver Web page.
