How to Build Web Pages With Dreamweaver

Build a Web page efficiently with Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver is one of the most popular tools available for building Web pages. The extensive tools it provides enable you to create your pages more efficiently. You can enter text directly in the design window, while you can view or edit the HTML code in code view. You can insert objects such as images and link by the use of the icons or menus.

Instructions

1. Launch Dreamweaver to create a new document: Click "File" from the menu and "New." Select "HTML" in the "Page Type" column and click "Create."

2. Create the elements of your page, such as tables, images and links using the icons or menu items. Format your text using the "Properties" panel. Insert a heading, an image and some text.

3. Type the heading text in the page. From the "Properties" panel, change the "Format" button to "Heading 1." Your text becomes visually bigger and bold.

4. Select "Image" from the "Insert" menu. Click on your image from the "Select Image Source" window that appears. Click "OK." This places the image into your page.

5. Type your page text. Press "Enter" between paragraphs. Format the text size and font using the "Properties" panel.

6. Save your file. Test your document by clicking on the HTML document. Use the same process to create any additional pages required.
