## Creating pages

Each page in your Web site corresponds to a separate page in your Freeway document.

### Site pages

In a Freeway document, pages in the site are represented on the screen by a black outline with a drop shadow showing the edge of the page. The area outside the page is called the pasteboard. You can use this area for working, but only items inside the page border will be published to your Web pages.

### Master pages

Each page in your Freeway document is associated with a master page. Items on a master page appear on each page it’s based on.

### To create new pages

- Open the Page menu and choose New Pages....
- Enter a title for the page(s) in the New Pages dialog box:

- Enter the number of pages you want to create.
- Select the master page you want to use from the Master pop-up menu.
- Click the OK button.

### To specify the title and file name

- Click the page icon at the top of the Inspector palette to display the general page settings:

- Enter the page title and file name in the Title and File fields.

The home page should normally be named index.html unless you are advised otherwise by your ISP. This will be displayed by default when a user connects to your site.

### To apply a background color to a page

- Click the paintbrush icon at the top of the Inspector palette to display the page’s appearance settings.
- If necessary, click the [Arrow] to expand the Background section of the Page panel.
- Choose the color from the Color pop-up menu:

By default, Freeway creates pages that will display in the browser with a white background.

### To apply a background image to a page

You can select any GIF, JPEG, or PNG image to be used as the background to a page.

Either:

- Drag an image from the Finder or another application and drop it onto an empty area of the page, while holding down [Shift].

Or:

- Click the paintbrush icon at the top of the Inspector palette to display the page’s appearance settings.
- If necessary, click the [Arrow] to expand the Background section of the Page panel.
- Choose Select... from the Image pop-up menu:

- Select a suitable image and click the Open button.

By default the image will be tiled horizontally and vertically to fill the entire browser window but you can choose alternative options using the Horizontal and Vertical pop-up menus.
