SUMMARY
Dividing a site into multiple subwebs makes it easier to perform administrative and authoring tasks, such as changing themes, publishing changes, and even finding specific files. In addition, if you have a large Web site, you can use subwebs to keep track of each author's work by assigning each author their own subweb. This article describes how to divide a large root Web into several smaller subwebs.

In FrontPage 2000, you can easily create subwebs by right-clicking a folder in your web and clicking Convert to Web.

Dividing a Large Root Web into Several Smaller Subwebs
 Open the web that you want to divide into smaller subwebs. Organize your content into folders within your web. Right-click a folder that you want to make into a subweb, and then click Convert to Web. You receive a message similar to the following:

- Hyperlinks on Navigation bars may be removed.

Are you sure you want to do this?

 Click Yes.

NOTES: If you want to use hyperlinks to move from the root Web to a subweb or between subwebs, you must use an absolute hyperlink like the following:
