To convert a layout into an HTML Page, you will need an HTML editor such as Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft FrontPage.  Both of these software programs are great HTML editors.  For the purpose of instruction, we will use Macromedia Dreamweaver in these examples
HTML pages can be created either with frames or without frames.  To design an HTML page without frames, go to the home page, your idex.html file.  Select the Modify Menu-Page Properties.  Here you will set your left margin, top margin and margin height and width.  If you wish, change the background color value of the HTML page by selecting the eyedropper tool and clicking the edge of the layout..  Copy the selected color value into the page properties.

Now you can set links for the buttons.  Select the image and assign a hash number in the link in the properties window.  By doing this, your image is designated as a button with a link.  Link the buttons to their inside pages that you will create.
