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 and folders for the site's root, data, and settings files, and (optionally) a site project folder.

You can create workgroup sites based on your single user sites, and take advantage of the Adobe Web Workgroup Server features, such as creating different file versions, comparing the differences between versions, and reverting files to previous versions--whether you're working with a group or on your own. (See Building Workgroup Sites.)

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 site project file, a root folder containing a blank home page named index.html, a data folder containing empty subfolders for resource files, and a 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 root folder, and adds new folders for the site's data and 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.

• Select Import from Server to create a new site based on a copy of a site downloaded from an FTP or HTTP server. (See Importing sites from remote servers.)
• Select Copy from Template to create a new site based on a site template that you created or one of the site templates that are installed with GoLive. (See Using site templates.)
4. Click Next and follow the instructions in the site wizard.
