If you have designed an HTML page and would like to use that as a template for an entire site, here's how to do it using Dreamweaver.
All that you need to do is to copy that file and save the copy under a different filename. For example, say if your initial HTML document was the homepage and you called it "index.html". Now you want to create other pages utilizing the same navigation, footer and logo in the exact same place. Say your navigation has an "About us" button and you want to create the associated page. So if you want to create an "about us" page that has the same look and feel as your "index.html" page, just open "index.html" in Dreamweaver, then use the "Save As" function from the drop-down menu and type in "aboutus.html". Dreamweaver will automatically rename the open file. You can check this by looking at the name of the tab at the very top that tells you what file you are working on. Now all you have to do is just customize the content areas without having to recreate the logo, navigation and footer from scratch.
