Adding a Home Page to a Site Diagram

See Also

You can add an existing home page to a site diagram or create a new home page for the Web application. When you create the first site diagram for a Web application, Site Designer automatically adds the site's home page to the diagram. If no home page exists, Site Designer creates one and adds it to the project when you save the site diagram.

If a home page already exists in the Web application, Site Designer identifies the home page based on information on the Web server. In general, Site Designer considers files such as default.asp, default.htm, or index.htm to be home pages. Microsoft^® Internet Information Server specifies default.asp for a home page and Microsoft^® Personal Web Server specifies default.htm for a home page.

   Right-click the diagram, and then choose Add Home Page from the shortcut menu.

Site Designer automatically adds the current home page for the Web application to the site diagram. When you save the site diagram, the new home page file is added to the current project.
