Creating a Homepage

To create a Web page, follow these guidelines:
1.To add a new page go to File > New and choose a basic HTML page. Save this page by clicking
File >Save As. Name the first page index.html. This will be the first page that users encounter when they visit your site. Save this file to your local root folder as index.html. Naming the homepage
index.html tells the Web browser that this is the first page it should open when someone visits your site.
2.After your homepage index.html is created, you can use this page as a template layout for all the other pages in your site. Simply hit Save As and name the file whatever you wish, but be sure to keep the name is simple, for example history.html, resume.html, etc. Remember not to use capital letters or spaces when naming files, this will make it easier for web browsers to find your files.
3.To save the pages of your site simply click File > Save for each page. Make sure your homepage is named index.html, and save all of your files in the folder you chose when you defined your site, i.e. in your local root folder.
