Creating a single user site


    To create a site on your local computer using the site wizard, you create a single user site. Based on the name you specify for the new site, GoLive creates the site project file, a site project folder, and folders for the site's web-content, web-data, and web-settings files.

To create a single user site:

  1. Choose File > New Site to open the site wizard.
  2. Select Single User and click Next.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Select Blank Site to create a project folder, a site project file, a web-content folder containing a blank home page named index.html, a web-data folder containing empty subfolders for resource files, and a web-settings folder.
    • Select Import from Folder to create a new site based on a folder of existing files on your computer. GoLive uses the folder of existing files as the basis for the new site's web-content folder, and adds new folders for the site's web-data and web-settings files. You are given the opportunity to specify a location for the site project file, name it (which should always have the .site filename extension), and create a folder to put it in.

    Note: Because GoLive uses the folder of existing files as the basis for the new site, you may want to make a copy to import rather than use the original folder and its contents.

  4. Click Next and follow the instructions in the site wizard.
