Using the Organize Site window, you can organize your Web site, specifying which pages to publish and the order that you want users to navigate to other pages. Although you can create more Web pages than your plan allows, you can only publish the number of pages listed in your plan. The number of pages you selected to publish versus the number of pages in your plan displays in the upper right corner of the screen. For example, 3/5 Published Pages, where three indicates the number of pages you selected to publish and five indicates how many pages you can publish with your plan.

The Organize Site window allows you to:

  • Set your home page
  • Set the web page order
