"Hello, my name is Izabella. And now I'm going to show you how to create a basic website in Dreamweaver. This is a great program for creating different web applications. Using different languages like HTML, Java or PHP. To create a good website. It's good to know a basic HTML language, at least. As we open Macromedia Dreamweaver. On the front screen, we will see three columns with options. The first one is Open A Recent Item. The second is Create New. Here we can select the languages. With the help of which we would like to create the website. And the third option is Create From Samples. These are templates that are already stored in the program itself. If we are not so professionally creating a website. We can simply go to the Internet. And download some templates from there. Which we prefer. Now I've downloaded a file. And if we have the downloaded file. We go to Open A Recent Item. Open this Folder. And we have to look for the file. That we just downloaded. Here's the folder. And it's really important that we can, we have to open the one with Index.HTML. Now I open it. And voila, we have the site here appearing in Macromedia Dreamweaver. Here it looks like this. I think it looks pretty nice. And as you can see the bottom part of this screen. Here we have this Properties window. Here we can format and modify the text. And adjust the pictures. For example, if I don't like this Free Port. Let's say, I'll write here, Hurray. And you can simply write it only with your keyboard. Or let's write here, just text like. This Is My First site. And if I don't like the type of font. I just go here and on the bottom part. I can like, make it Bold or Italic. And it looks like this. I can create a link as well. It's really easy. Let's say, I go here. You have to highlight the text. And go to the bottom part, to the link. And right here the source from which you would like to. You would like that link was opened. After clicking on it. Let's make it simple. I'll write here Index.HTML. Enter. And as you're ready with the site. Or you would just like to watch it in, how it looks like in the Internet.
