About page layout

Adobe GoLive features a variety of basic tools for laying out Web pages, including a plain page, a layout grid with layout text boxes, tables, and floating boxes. It's important that you decide which tool to use before you get started designing your page. With a plain page, you can add text and objects directly to the page, and then position the text and objects by choosing alignment options. Using a layout grid and layout text boxes, you can place text and objects precisely on the page with 1-pixel accuracy. With tables, you can control how text wraps on the page, or present spreadsheet data or other information in rows and columns. Floating boxes let you overlap objects on the page in layers and create animations using the Adobe GoLive Timeline Editor.

Adobe GoLive also features advanced page layout tools, including frames, stationery, and components. Frames let you divide a page into multiple frames and display a different document in each frame. With stationery, you can design a page, save the page as stationery, and create a new fully-editable page based on the stationery. Using components, you can create page content that is frequently used in your site, such as a navigation bar, save it as a component, and quickly add the component to your pages. To update all instances of the component, you only need to edit a single source file. For information on using frames, see Using frames. For information on using stationery, see Using stationery.
