You import a site from a remote location, by creating a new site from an existing website. We will import the NetObjects Fusion website from www.netobjects.com.
1. From the File menu, choose New Site>From Existing website.
The Import Web Site dialog appears.
2. Select Remote import.
3. Enter the exact Home page location: www.netobjects.com.
Note: Enter the full URL to the site’s top-level source page in the Home page field. To ensure accuracy, navigate to the site or page using your browser, then copy and paste the URL from the browser.
The starting page of your site import does not have to be the source site’s Home page, usually named index.htm or index.html; it can be any page of any accessible Internet or intranet site.
Note: You must have full access to this page and the other pages in the site through HTTP 1.0. If you do not have HTTP 1.0 connectivity or there are other security measures such as robots.txt or ht.access files, virtual hosting, or a firewall, you must download the site to your local hard disk via an FTP connection and then select Local import. This also applies if you have a virtual domain, because virtual domains require HTTP 1.1.
4. Set the limits for the number of pages and number of levels you want to apply to the import process. The recommended limits are 200 pages and 20 levels.
5. Click OK.
The Save Site As dialog appears.
6. Enter a name for the new site in the File name field.
7. Select the location where you want to save the site. By default, NetObjects Fusion saves the site in the NetObjects Fusion 10\User Sites folder, but you can store it in the location of your choice.
8. Click Save.
NetObjects Fusion will import the site and converts its content, structure, and links into NetObjects Fusion format.
9. Navigate to each page and make the necessary adjustments.
Adjust font sizes and styles as needed, and add NetObjects Fusion navigation bars and banners as appropriate to your design. If a page does not import the way you expect, check the original source file for incorrect or nonstandard HTML code.
