Deploying Pages

With dbQwikSite you can design, build and test your pages all on your PC, completely independent of your target server. To deploy your website is to move it to your target server.  This may be a Windows or Unix server.  How you deploy your web pages depends on your target server.  Your pages will be generated for your target host and stored in the Deploy folder.  You can use the Generate & Upload button to move your pages directly to your remote server.
