Am I able to organize files and folders with Responsive Site Designer? For example, if I was going to create a family web site with an updated weekly page, is there a way to create and organize the web pages into folders by year, month, etc.? Same with the images folder and CSS folder, I'd like to organize that the same way.

There's hope that feature will be added soon.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Oh, I see. So RSD isn't really the right software for a site that will be constantly added to?

I like all of the functionality and ease of creating a web site within the program, but I also need to be able to organize all the files that I'll want to use over the years to come.

Hello Eric,

Thank you for replying. Can you recommend which software(s) I should be using if I want more control over how to organize my site? Maybe Responsive Layer Maker and HTML Editor?

In Responsive Site Designer, the export function will re-export the whole site every time a change is made? Sorry, I've only used Dreamweaver before, so I'm still trying to get the hang of my Coffee Cup Software and how everything works.


Regards,
John

I think you could still use RSD and create a project for each file. It may not be the most friendly but it should work. The other option is to use the html editor and Responsive Layout Maker. This way you can easily build your responsive grid and layout but have more control of content.

This sounds like a blog request. Create a project for the year with a home page (index.html), create a page in the project for each month (12 additionalmonths.html), and then put each of your weekly updates on the monthly pages. Create a menu to navigate between them all. When you FTP upload you would only be updating the monthly page you currently are on if you choose your settings correctly.
Bootstrap 5 CSS Grid.
