Overview

Dreamweaver (and web design in general) is such a hard program to teach yourself. We know, because as Dreamweaver trainers we have all taught ourselves. We wish we had a resource like this when we were learning.

Hand coding a website from scratch is now a thing of the past. Web designers use tools like Dreamweaver to a lot of the heavy lifting. We imagine this is your first website build and we're glad we're here to help make this process a little less troublesome. 

Who should use this?

Anyone that is brand new to Dreamweaver and anyone brand new to web design in general. If you're reasonably experienced in web design you might find this course a little slow going.

What do you need?

  • You'll need a laptop (Mac or PC)
  • Dreamweaver CC installed. Dreamweaver can be downloaded from theAdobe website here.

Can I use this tutorial with Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, CS5 or CS6?

No. Unfortunately there were some fundamental changes in the Dreamweaver CC update that makes CC and previous versions very different.

Remember you can download Dreamweaver CC free for 30 days. Don't worry - after your free trial has expired your files will still be updatable using any other web design program.

If you like the tutorials we'd love you to like, share and tweet it. We'd be very grateful.

I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.

Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Transcript

Hi, Welcome,

My name is Daniel Walter Scott. I am a trainer here at Bring Your Own Laptop.

The topic we are covering today is: Uploading a website to a web host

We have already looked at how to connect to your host but the next part we are looking at now is now to upload your files to the server. There are 2 ways. First we will look at the long way.

We have my file index.html open. Id like to move this up on my website. I’m going to go up to ‘site’ and then to ‘put’. It connects to your server. Its’ going to ask you if you would like to copy dependent files. These images are separate files on my hard drive. These are dependent files. If I say ‘no’ it will just put up the index page. If I say ‘yes’ it will put the index page and all these jpegs as well. I will click ‘yes’. Now that they are uploaded they should be available on your domain name. You should be able to go to www.yourfancydomain.com. You should be taken to your website. If I click on ‘about us’ there is a problem. You need to put up all the pages separately. So I will need to go to ‘about us’, go to ‘site’, ‘put’, ‘yes’. The same for ‘contact us’, go to ‘site’, ‘put’, ‘yes’. If I now look at the domain page I will see that all of the pages are up.

So jump back in to Dreamweaver to look at the quicker way. Go to ‘files’, hold ‘shift’ and click on all of the pages to select them all and then put to remote server and then click ‘yes’ to upload dependent images.

This is how to upload your pages from Dreamweaver to your host and make them accessible via your domain name.
