When working with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX for the first time, or on a new site for the first time, you need to define the Web site so that Dreamweaver can work with it. This process includes naming the site, placing the local files on a directory on your hard drive, and showing Dreamweaver where those files will be published on the Web. Follow these easy instructions to define a new Web site for Dreamweaver MX.

First, you should go to the "Site" menu and choose "Manage Sites".

As you can see from the image below, this will open a dialog window. Choose "New Site" from the "New" button.
