Customizing default documents
The DocumentTypes/NewDocuments folder contains a default (blank) document of each
type that you can create using Dreamweaver. When you create a new blank document by
selecting File > New and selecting an item from the Basic Page, Dynamic Page, or Other
categories, Dreamweaver bases the new document on the appropriate default document in
this folder. To change what appears in a default document of a given type, edit the appropriate
document in this folder.
Customizing page designs
Dreamweaver provides a variety of predesigned cascading style sheets, framesets, and page
designs. You can create pages based on these designs by selecting File > New.
To customize the available designs, edit the files in BuiltIn/css, BuiltIn/framesets, BuiltIn/
Templates, and BuiltIn/TemplatesAccessible folders.
You can also create custom page designs by adding files to the subfolders of the BuiltIn folder.
To make a description of the file appear in the New Document dialog box, create a Design
Notes file (in the appropriate _notes folder) that corresponds to the page design file.

If you want all the pages in your site to contain common elements (such as a copyright
notice) or a common layout, it’s better to use templates and library items than to change
the default documents. For more information about templates and library items, see
Using Dreamweaver).

The designs listed in the Page Designs and Page Designs (Accessible) categories are
Dreamweaver template files; for more information on templates, see Using
Dreamweaver).
