Creating Your Web Site

The first thing you do in Site Studio is connect to a content server and create your assets. You do this using the Connection Manager in designer. With the Connection Manager, you identify a content server, create a Web site on that server (more specifically, a project file), and create a connection name that is used by Designer to connect to the site.

As soon as you've done this, you can start constructing your site assets into a Web site, using a site hierarchy to define the arrangement of the information. A site hierarchy comprises the individual sections of your site, like Products, Services, and About Us. In each section, there is a primary page and often a secondary page.

You can spend a considerable amount of time setting up the site and site hierarchy, which is discussed next.
