If you’d like to follow along, this tutorial references a prebuilt page from Intializr-dot etc. Initializr is a site that enables you to generate an initial web design project including starter HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files with content, styling, and navigation elements.

Go to initializr.dotcom in a web browser to start an HTML5 Initializr project.

Is the learning site discontinued?

According to this article, Initializr shut down about 8 years ago. For good alternatives see: What is the best alternative to Initializr?

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

Go to File ⇒ New...

1. Starter Templates ⇒ 2. Bootstrap Templates ⇒ 3. Samples: [pick one] ⇒ 4. Hit CREATE button.

File ⇒ Save As index.html (home page).

Dreamweaver will auto generate a Bootstrap site for you as a starting point for your new responsive website.

Post back if you have any questions.

Hello
Did follow the instructions and was able to create new the web page, bootstrap page.
I have a Udemy course on bootstrap will begin to learn incrementally the boostrap.
My starting page should look as what is shown in the link.
https://meherbabalibrary.org/pages/radiohour-1969-hu9.html
The navigation as shown with the chicken image and the links and so forth then I would begin assuming we have a working template - to develop the page and future pages. So I copied the Nav area as inserted below into the new page, the bootstape page:
</head>
<body>
<header><img src="../logos/Logo11a.png" alt="meher baba chicken" height="128" width="720"> </header>
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="../index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="../kalki.html">Kalki</a></li>
<li><a href="../fana.html">Fana</a></li>
<li><a href="../jive.html">Jive</a></li>
<li><a href="../advent.html">Vault</a></li>
<li><a href="../babasplach.html">Splash</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
https://meherbabalibrary.org/titled-bootstrap.html#
Obviously the results were not as expected.
I submit this follow up so as to present the effort using the boostap page as instructed:
Go to File ⇒ New...
1. Starter Templates ⇒ 2. Bootstrap Templates ⇒ 3. Samples: [pick one] ⇒ 4. Hit CREATE button.
File ⇒ Save As index.html (home page).
Thank you for the help!

To start with, do not use Bootstrap 4, it has long been superseeded by Bootstrap 5. I know, Dreamweaver does not natively support Bootstrap 5 (as yet), so you will need to follow the Bootstrap doco's.

Secondly, you have not uploaded (or uploaded in a wrong directory) the Bootstrap CSS and JS files.

You could try Bootstrap Studio instead of using an outdated Dreamweaver, or as I have done, jump ship and use Wappler.

Hello
I opened the links to look over the sites that were inside your followup message.

The Wappler is very expensive possibly useful for a professional with a good income.

The other site (bootstrap studio) was compelling especially the price. And informative the getbookstrap.
Here is take on where I am at. i have only used dreamweaver and no other full feature application.

It seems that if I were to take advantage from let's say bootstrap studio - the feature Boostrap 5 I could then simply copy the code-text into Dreamweaver thus initiating Bootstrap 5 which would take this writer up one level from Bootstrap 4.

Then the lingering thought is Adobe could easily make available in Dreamweaver Bootstrap 5 - and why would there be a hesitancy?

The follow up did a look see via google Adobe Dreamweaver Bootstrap 5

It needs to be linked - and so forth

Nancy article is what I found so this will help to figure out how to proceed forward:

===========

For this to work, you need to upload these Bootstrap supporting files to your server.

/css/bootstrap-4.4.1.css

/js/jquery-3.4.1.min.js

/js/popper.min.js

/js/bootstrap-4.4.1.js

Also, your navbar is incomplete. See below for examples.
