How to Change Where iWeb Saves
Apple’s iWeb is an entry-level Web page creation program and is part of the iLife Suite of programs. When you click “Save,” the program backs up your website to a file called “Domain,” which is only readable by iWeb. If you want to save your website so you can preview it in a browser or upload it to a Web host, you should publish it to a folder on your hard drive.
