Hi,

I have an existing site which was done with iWeb.

I'm now trying to replace some of the pages with pages created in Dreamweaver.

I've come up with a couple of options on how to make both tools work nicely together but, I'd like to see how others have done this.

Thanks in advance.

The only good-ish solution I have found to this is making a basic site with iWeb, exporting it onto my desktop/ other folder, then opening dreamweaver to make all the changes and adding extra content to it that way.

Thanks for the response. That's actually the the direction I'm leaning. I have published my iWeb pages in a sub-directory of the Dreamweaver local home page.

The one downside I've found is that Dreamweaver seems to think that all the iWeb pages are updated even when no changes have been made, so I have to avoid publishing the whole site in Dreameaver.

Yeah I got forgot to mention that small hiccup in the process, other than that, thats the easiest way I have found.

I usually do my in Dreamweaver, but have done from iWeb to dreamweaver in the past. The only problem is that iWeb can create some funky HTML code that can be hard for a novice to sift through in Dreamweaver. Other than that, its not too hard.
