Once you have open the project, you will be presented with the Flux Site Manager, like the one below

Step 3

Select the folder that you want to create the page in, and press the 'New Page' toolbar button, and a sheet will appear to let choose what kind of page you want to create.

Enter a name for your new page, the usual name for the first page in a website is index.html, so enter 'index' into the name field, the extension will be added automaticaly.

You can also choose what type of page you want to create, for a normal page, choose 'HTML'

You can also choose what type of DOCTYPE to use, choose the one most appropriate to your page. Many people like to use XHTML, as it's often considered more modern and cleaner than HTML.


Press OK and the new page will be created.

Done!

The new page has been created.
