Creating a new site

You start the process of building a Web site by creating the site--that is, creating a site document (site file) that controls its contents and two folders that will hold these contents. If you name your site Mysite, the site document is named Mysite.site. Whether you create the site in Windows or Mac OS, the site document you create can be opened and used on both platforms.

If you have used a previous version of Adobe GoLive to create a site, you don't have to recreate it in Adobe GoLive 5.0. Just opening the site document will automatically update it to an Adobe GoLive 5.0 site, creating a 5.0 site document. (The earlier site document will be backed up. If you want to archive the entire previous site, not just its site document, copy it, archive the copy, and then open the site document of the original.)
