Exporting files?

Help! I just finished my homepage, with 4 different templates and their respective htmls... but my files to make them are all over the place. How do I export/publish to make my files all be in one location?

    Welcome -

     

    Not sure how to respond. I can't imagine a single page using 4 templates....

     

    The usual practice is to start with setting up a "root" folder to contain all the files and subfolders (like images, Templates etc) for one website

     

    DW depends heavily on a "defined" site using Site Manager which enables DW to manage all your linking..

     

    At present your links are probably all over the place and will need to be relinked after you move you files to the root folder.

    In a typical static site, the Files Panel in DW (F8) should look something like this:

     

    YourSiteName (C:\YourSiteName)

         +Images

         index.html 

         page1.html

         page2.html

         page3.html

         +Scripts

         +Styles

         +Templates

     

    If your Files Panel doesn't approximate this, then you probably have not defined a Local Site in DW.  Go to Site > Manage Sites > New...  and tell DW where to find the hard drive directory that contains all your site files.
