iWeb: How much disk space will my site use?

If you need to determine how much disk space your website will take up on your iDisk before you publish your site, try the following steps:

  1. From the File menu, choose Publish to a Folder (File > Publish to a Folder).
  2. In the sheet that opens, navigate to a location on your hard drive that you can find easily (for instance, the Documents folder).
  3. Click New Folder and pick a name for your folder (this is where all of the elements for your website will be saved).
  4. Click Choose.
  5. After the site has been published, iWeb will give you a choice to Visit Site Now (which will open the site in your default web browser) or return to iWeb (OK button). You can select either choice.
  6. In the Finder navigate to the folder you created in step 3 and click once to select the folder.
  7. From the File menu, choose Get Info (Command-I).

In the General section of the Info window the size of your site will be listed (if you have Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, the size will also appear in the top right corner of the Info window).
