If you are developing Web pages with a team or in a work group, you'll find the following HomeSite features to be useful to help coordinate and share your work with others.
Use the Projects feature to associate files as a cohesive project in HomeSite. When you associate files together as a project, you can upload the entire project to your Web site.
See Using Projects for Site Management for information on creating projects in HomeSite.
If you're working in a team environment, chances are that at least some of your project files are on remote servers. The remote development feature helps you exchange and retrieve files remotely.
The Snippets feature lets you store reusable code blocks, such as navigation bars, page layout code, and so on. To create a tag snippet, open the Snippets tab in the Resources area, right-click to create a snippets folder, and right-click again to create a tag snippet.
You can have private snippets and shared snippets, accessible using keyboard shortcuts. To activate shared snippets, you need to specify a Shared Snippets folder in the File Locations page of the Settings dialog box.
See Using Code Snippets for details on creating and using Snippets.
Most Web sites benefit from design templates that set up the basic page and site structure. Any HTML page can serve as a template in HomeSite. When you save a file as a template, it is stored in the HomeSite\Wizards\Custom directory by default.
To build a page from a custom template, choose File > New to open the New File Wizard, and select a template from the Custom page of the New Document dialog box.
HomeSite offers several ways for you to set up the interface to suit your preferences, to create your own help files, and to add custom buttons, dialogs, and toolbars.
See Customizing the Development Environment for more information.
