— starting with GoLive after using FrontPage is common and exactly the kind of problem meant when recommending docs plus hands-on work. Practical, focused steps make the learning curve much smaller.

Begin by creating a single local site folder (keep pages, styles, images in subfolders). In GoLive set that folder as the site root so all links stay relative. Build a single page named index.html and create an external stylesheet; link reusable header/footer blocks with a template so global changes are easy. Keep images in an images folder and add them through GoLive’s assets/library so paths stay consistent. Preview pages in a real browser frequently and use GoLive’s publishing/FTP settings only after local tests pass. Avoid FrontPage-specific features (server extensions, web components) — they will not work outside FrontPage servers.

Quick starter checklist:

  • Create local site folder and set it as GoLive site root.
  • Make index.html, add external CSS, and place images in images/.
  • Create a page template for header/footer/navigation.
  • Test in a browser and fix broken links/paths.
  • Configure FTP/publish settings and upload to a test directory.
  • Keep backups before publishing.

Note: Adobe GoLive is a legacy product and was phased out in favor of Dreamweaver after Adobe’s product consolidation Adobe GoLive — Wikipedia. For long-term projects started today, consider modern alternatives (code editors like Visual Studio Code, or current WYSIWYG tools) to avoid future migration headaches.
