A Web site is a set of linked documents with shared attributes, such as related topics, a similar design, or a shared purpose.
Macromedia Dreamweaver is a site creation and management tool, so you can use it to create complete Web sites, in addition to individual documents. For best results, design and plan your Web site before you create any of the pages that the site will contain.
Note: If you can't wait to start creating documents immediately, you can try out some of Dreamweaver's document-creation tools and make a sample document. (See Creating, opening, and saving HTML documents.) But don't start serious document development until you've set up a site.
The first step in creating a Web site is planning. See About site planning and design. The next step is to set up the basic structure of the site; see Using Dreamweaver to set up a new site. If you already have a site on a Web server and you want to begin using Dreamweaver to edit that site, see Setting up a remote site.
