Hi everyone,

I am enrolled into an Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017 online college course.

For my project, I have to create a basic 5-page website. However, I need to create a template and I am stuck!

How do I make a HTML template with CSS?

Thanks! Any help is appreciated!

I made the code below with the help of this tutorial: Understanding the Internet and websites https://www.lynda.com/Dreamweaver-tutorials/Customizing-Bootstrap/558001/588107-4.html

I followed it step by step and for the most part figured out how to create the HTML layout and template. I did not understand how to create a template out of a blank .dwt.

<!doctype html>

<html>

<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8">

The code that you have shown is not for a template but for an HTML document.

To make a template from that document, go to File > Save as Template

and you will see a new document that has been created under a new folder called Templates.

    Have a look at How to create Dreamweaver template

    The best way is to go to the Insert panel (CTRL+F2) and choose Templates

    Hi Ben,

    Please explain, have you already created a .dwt file? Could you show us the code?
