Creating a Website With iWeb

Create a Website

To get started, you’ll create a website that consists of one page (a welcome page).

To create a website:

1

If iWeb isn’t open, double-click the iWeb application icon in your Applications folder. If
iWeb is already open, and you don’t see the template chooser shown below, click the
Add Page (+) button at the bottom of the iWeb window (or choose File > New Page).

In the template chooser that appears, click Freestyle on the left. In the thumbnails on
the right, the Welcome template should already be selected for you (the selected
templae has a yellow border around it).

Click Choose.

About Templates

Each time you add a new webpage, you select the page’s template.

A template is a predesigned page with placeholders for text and graphics; you can
easily replace the placeholders with your own text and graphics.

iWeb provides templates designed for specific categories of webpages. For example,
the Photos templates contain placeholders for photos and captions. By using the
iWeb templates, you can create an attractive webpage without having to do any
design work.

Your website can use as many or as few of the templates as you want, depending on
the content you put on your site.
