Adobe Dreamweaver CC is a collection of great tools for the web designers. Website creation is a creative platform for making websites and designing easily and quickly.
Website is a collection of data from different files and directories. To start creating the website on Adobe Dreamweaver, first we need to set the folder for the assets of the site.
The images, pages and media associated with the site are placed in this folder. This is called the local root folder/directory of the website. It is important that all these things are stored in one place as they are linked. Hence use one dedicated folder for each website you want to create.
Here are the steps to define the website with Dreamweaver.
