I have created several websites using VSD (thanks to the kind help of other CC forum users!) and I would like to make additional gateway pages using the same theme. Is it possible to copy one of my previous websites in VSD and then just change the URl extensions? The basic layout is all my own so I'm not infringing on anyone's rights. I just want to simplify the process if at all possible. Thank you in advance for your help.

If you do a SAVE AS , from File do save as

Ideally save into a new folder with your new website name, and rename the file you will have created a 100% identical website just with a new name

Simply uploading this directly to a new url on your hosting will be your starting point (but obviously not till edited)

You can now easily change your page id's newwebsitename.com/contactme.html to newwebsitename.com/contact-them-instead.html

and you can change your page titles, headers keywords etc.

If your uploading to a new domain you wont have to change any of the links built through VSD. Do a "save as" and change the name then edit the ftp settings and you should be good to go.:cool:
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
