Correct answer Nancy OShea

In your Files Panel (Ctrl+F3), right-click on your Site Name to create a new folder.

You may click and drag Files Panel items into folders or sub-folders.

Do you mean without a trailing .html at the end?

You can do that a couple ways, depending on the size of the site. For larger sites, re-writing the urls by modifying the .htaccess file on your server is best.

On a small site, you could set it up so every page after the home page has its own folder, like so...

RootFolder
     index.html (home page)
     contact
          index.html (shows as www.domain.com/contact)
     about
          index.html (shows as www.domain.com/about)
     services
          index.html (shows as www.domain.com/services)

The main issue with doing it this way is if the site gets large, accidents can happen when all of the pages are named index.html.

Hi Jon,

Thank you for your answer, nice to you to take time for my problem.

Sorry for my English but i'm french.

The purpose is to create a hierarchy in the pages of the site in order to get pages of different levels so that the URLs appear in browsers for example in the following way:
Http: // domain name / home / categories / product detail.html

Some web editors allow you to create pages by asking if this new page depends on a top page, but I can not find this function in Dreamweaver.

I was suggested to create directories to create the hierarchy of the site, but I do not know how to do it

I'm self-taught and it's not always obvious to me to understand the explanations and realize them, so I often need concrete examples as well as the different sequences to follow.

Than you again

In this context, directories are just folders on your hard drive that DW manages for you. When you create your site, your home page is in your site's root folder (root directory)...

SiteRoot

index.html

In order to create "sub-directories" all you do is create new folders within the site root with the names you want to use...

SiteRoot

index.html
