## Creating a new site

Freeway stores all the information about your Web site in a single site document.

### To create a new site document

- Open the File menu and choose New.

The New Document dialog box is displayed to allow you to specify settings that will apply to your entire site.

Either:

- Click the Templates tab to display sets of predefined templates to help you create a site in a specific style:

Or:

- Click the Custom tab to specify the settings explicitly for a new blank site :

The following table explains the meaning of each of the options:

Option | Description
Default HTML | Specifies the default output setting for pages in the site. You can override this for individual pages at a later stage.
Default page size | Specifies the default size, in pixels, for new pages in the site. Either choose one of the predefined page sizes from the pop-up menu, or specify the Width and Height in the corresponding fields.
Site folder | Allows you to specify the location of the site folder, which will contain the site files when you publish the site.
Resources | Allows you to specify where the graphics and other resource files are stored when the site is published: Common Resource Folder stores all the images in a single folder, Separate Resource Folders stores the images in a separate folder for each site subfolder, and With HTML Files stores the images loose with the HTML files.
File names | Specifies the format for the file names generated by Freeway when the site is published, to ensure compatibility with the Web server you are going to use for hosting your site. Choose Alphanumeric for maximum compatibility with old Web servers, DOS for MS-DOS Web servers, or UNIX/Windows for current Web servers including Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.

- Click the OK button to create the new site.

If you selected a template you are prompted to save the site. Freeway creates a Site Folder to contain the HTML files and resources generated when you publish the site, and a Media folder to contain your master images and other materials:
