Link the Pages
Once you have all the pages ready you can link them up via the navigation. This can be done using Dreamweaver.
Ensure that the pages are all linked so that the user can easily find them. This is also important for search engines to crawl through the site and index all the pages. Also ensure that any scripts you installed are also linked in a user friendly manner e.g. forum, form, guestbook etc.
You can link pages from:
- Main menu items
- Sub-menu items
- Site Map
- Relevant text links within the content of other pages
If you are building your site on Joomla you can do this from within Joomla itself.
If you are building a Flash website you can do this within Flash.
