Need sub web tutorial

I have a client that wants a web site. I want to prototype this site and
host it on my own web site. I don't want my own web site to be affected by
what ever I put in the client's web site. The client wants to be able to see
his own web site while I'm working on it before I do a real deployment to
his real web site host. Once we are all satisfied with it, I then want to
deploy it to the client's real web host.

And, of course, I'm completely clueless as to how to do any of this. After
spending a couple of hours looking at Front Page 2003's worthless piece of
junk help, Would one of you knowledgeable people be so good as to give me a
short tutorial on what I have to do in order to accomplish the state goals?
Thanks!

Create a subweb for the new Web. Give your customer the URL. Start
developing.

Re: Need sub web tutorialAh. Got a method that works for me.

My own corporate web server has a site on. My development machine opens the corporate site. At this point, I can just right click on the left tree's root http://Corp.com item and select New\Subsite from the context menu that pops up. It is necessary to replace the 'subsite' portion of the default http://Corp.com/subsite string with a somewhat more meaningful name and then the rest of the web site creation wizard runs. Easy!

"...g at Front Page 2003's worthless piece of
junk help,... 70% of the questions on these Newsgroups could be answered by
using Help. In fact, many of my responses are directly from the Help pages.
I'm not at home today or I would post the FP 2003 Help response to your
question.

Thank you for the kind response but it is unclear how this does in any way
solve my particular issue. Help was the first place I looked. Google was the
second (my home page is Google). I was rather hoping for useful pointers
from the newsgroup because I recognize my own limitations as well as
recognizing that some of the people that frequent this group are very, very
good indeed at these things, I asked for help. Didn't get as much useful
information as was needed but that's how it goes sometimes.

Re: Need sub web tutorialI've spoken too quickly. Things are well at all. The corporate main web site home page has aspects of the sub web in it. Navigation is trashed. When I ask FrontPage to show my web's files in Remote Web site view, it indicates that a number of the subweb's pages are sitting in the web's root virtual directory. Before I go any further and make things worse, would it be possible for someone to educate me on what went wrong and how I can recover from it?

Re: Need sub web tutorialYour host has to allow subweb creation & procedure may differ depending on what kind of server you are on.

Does your subweb folder appear with the blue globe on it within your main web? If not then it's just a regular folder in your web. You can fix that by draggin all the files that belong in the subweb (subsite I think its called in 2003) into that folder that is to be your subweb. Then right click on the folder and choose Convert To Web.
