Create the Scaal site home page

Now that you have set up a structure to store the Scaal site, you'll create a home page for the site. As you build this document, you'll add a page title, layers, images, text, and links; your document will contain the same design components as the completed Scaal home page.

If they aren't already open, open the following workspace components:

	The Object palette (choose Window > Objects), which you'll use to add objects to your document
	The Property inspector (choose Window > Properties), which you'll use to set properties or attributes for objects in your document

 
Save your document

Save the blank document you created when you launched Dreamweaver.

1	Choose File > Save.
2	In the Save As dialog box, select the Sites/Scaal_site folder to save the file in.
3	In the File Name field, type my_scaal_home.html.
4	Click Save.

 
Define the title of the page

Defining a page title for an HTML document helps users identify and keep track of a page they're browsing. The page title appears in the browser title bar when a page is viewed in a browser. When a page is bookmarked, the page title appears in the bookmark list. If a document is created without a page title, the document appears in the browser with the title Untitled Document.

1	With the Document window active, choose Modify > Page Properties to see the page property options.
2	In the Title field of the Page Properties dialog box, type Scaal Gourmet Coffee.
3	Click OK.
	The title appears in the title bar of the Dreamweaver Document window.
