iWeb lets you creates multiple web sites so you can have one for work and one for play. And because they’re all managed through the same Site Organizer, you can get a bird’s-eye view of all your sites and pages whenever you need to.

Link to HomePage

If you’ve previously published webpages using HomePage, those pages are still available at http://homepage.mac.com/YourMemberName. Websites you create in iWeb are available at http://web.mac.com/YourMemberName/iweb/SiteName. If you’ve created webpages using the .Mac HomePage feature, you can put a link to your old homepage on the first page of your new iWeb site. On your iDisk, your HomePage sites are stored in the Sites folder. Your iWeb sites are in the Web folder.
