Creating a Site Manually

Since the dawn of the Web, authors have built Web sites one page at a time. They start with a home page, then create other pages, and add links to connect those pages. This page-by-page process is still the way most Web professionals work, since it offers the greatest flexibility and control.

If you want to start from scratch, creating and designing pages on your own, you don't need to use FrontPage's templates. However, (in a Microsoftian twist of logic) you still need to begin in the Templates dialog box. Select File New, and within the New task pane, click More Web Site Templates. Instead of using a template that contains content, select Empty Web Site or One Page Web Site.

FrontPage presents you with a sparkling brand-new site that includes no intrusive elements. Use the tools you've already read about to create, design, and link pages as you wish.
