Design and lay out a web page
Adobe GoLive makes it easy to design and lay out visually compelling web pages. You can create simple or complex
professional-quality web pages without writing any code.
Once you’ve designed your page, you can save it as a page template. New pages created from a page template remain
linked to the template—when you change the template, GoLive automatically updates the pages without affecting any
content that has been added to them.
1. Set page dimensions and add a CSS layout object.
Open a site, choose File > New, and then select Web > Pages > HTML Page. (For information about creating a site,
see “About GoLive sites” on page 145.) Choose 720 x * from the Status Page Dimensions menu at the bottom center
of the document window to display the current page at 720 pixels wide, the standard width for 17-inch monitors. (If
the menu.) Drag one of the CSS layout ob
the page dimension doesn’t appear at the bottom of the document window, choose Show > Page Dimensions from
jects
from the CSS set of the objects toolbox to the page. Adjust the
height and width of the columns, rows, frames, or boxes of the CSS layout object as desired in the CSS Object
Inspector.
Setting a default page size helps prevent you from adding objects, such as large graphic banners, that are too wide to
display on a standard page. CSS layout objects let you create liquid layouts that adjust to the new size when a user
resizes a web browser window (for more information about CSS layout objects, see “About CSS layout objects” on
page 245).
