Formatting Pages | SharePoint Designer Tutorial: Working with SharePoint Websites

Creating Our Site

Creating their site will be a useful way of recapping on the skills we learned in the previous chapter.

We will create the foundation for the site in three stages:

Create a new site on our computer.
Add a homepage to this site.
Publish the site to our SharePoint server.

Creating a New Site

The first thing that we are going to do is create a new SharePoint site, which we will call "WINEC". We will be using this site for the rest of the exercises in this book.

Start by creating the site on your computer:

Click File | New | Web Site....
Select Empty Web Site from the list of possible pages.
Create a new folder within the My Web Sites folder for your site and name the new folder WINEC (e.g. C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Documents\My Web Sites\WINEC).
Click OK.

SharePoint Designer will then display the Folder view for our new empty site on the screen.

Creating Our Homepage

Let's add a new blank page to our site. Add the new page by selecting File | New | ASPX.

The first thing we will do with...
