    Designing a Website with iWeb > Creating a New Website

    Creating a New Website

    It’s time to start making other decisions. Your first decision is to choose a theme. Themes are a collection of template pages with coordinated fonts, backgrounds, and colors. iWeb has 28 Apple-designed themes to choose from including designs for small business, online journals, and travel.

    1.
    From the Applications folder on your Mac hard drive, open the iWeb application.

    If you are not a MobileMe member or not signed into MobileMe in your System Preferences, a MobileMe trial window will open.

    2.
    Click “No thanks” on the MobileMe window. Close the Getting Start Video window as well. iWeb displays the template chooser. On the left side, you’ll see a list of themes.

    3.
    Scroll down the list to see the choices you have, then scroll back to the top of the list and select the Modern Frame theme.

    On the right pane are thumbnail previews for templates iWeb offers in each theme.

    4.
    To make the first page for the site, select the Welcome template and click Choose.

    Note

    Although you are starting with the Welcome template, you can choose any of the templates as your site’s first page or homepage.

    iWeb displays the Welcome page in the webpage canvas. The left pane shows the sidebar, which lists the sites and pages you’ve created. At the moment, your new website is called “Site” and its one page is named “Welcome.” The right side shows the Media Browser. The newly added webpage contains both placeholder text and images that will be replaced with your own content as you build the site.

    Note

    You can change the theme of your website at any time. Select a page in the sidebar and click the Theme button to apply a new look to the page. It’s a good design guideline to stick to one theme per website.
