Defining Website
How defining ease our work?
Web pages consist of html codes that determine page layout and links. If we make change in the site files and folders, we need to change some codes too. For example, look at the code below.
This code means that get the cat.jpg named image from the images folder and insert it into the page. If we change the name of the images folder's name to photos, we need to change the code above too. If we define website in Dreamweaver and make changes in files and folders, necessary code changes are made automatically by Dreamweaver. Therefore, if we need to change a folder's or image's name, we should change it by using Dreamweaver. If we make changes directly from the files, code changes are not made and causes errors.
