- Gathering Tools and Content
- Visit the Web Development Tools sections of the site for Dreamweaver templates, quick links to the Photo Library, Poll Center, and Banner Creator.
- Section 2 - Creation
- IIT recommends you use either Composer or Dreamweaver to make your site. Both programs will allow you to build complex, interesting web pages without needing to know HTML. Composer is a free application packaged with the Mozilla software suite. Dreamweaver is not free, but provides more tools for creating interactive web pages and managing large web sites.
- Section 3 - Upload & View
- If you are using Dreamweaver, you can upload your site using Dreamweaver's built-in tools. Review Uploading Your Site with Dreamweaver.
