Web Studio reads its own native Project Files (.ows file extension). The Project File contains all of the pieces of your website and from there converts the information to HTML. Advanced users can import HTML into the HTML Object as well as other objects and pages. This means that Web Studio saves your website in two ways: an .ows Project File that can be used within the program and a website with the HTML language that is understood by browsers. 

 

  

Project File. Web Studio saves its own record of your website called a Web Studio Project . The Project  Files have a file extension of .ows and can only be read within the Web Studio program.  This Project  File contains all the information about your Website, much the same way a blue print to your house contains all of the information about how your home is put together. When you add a graphic, text or other objects to the pages of your site in Web Studio, they are saved in the Project File. Because a copy of the file is inserted into Web Studio, you can modify graphics without changing the original graphic. 

Website. When you are ready to create a Web ready website, Web Studio takes all the information from the Project File, generates HTML, (the standard language that Web browsers understand) and sends this ready-made website to the location of your choice be it your hard drive, a network drive, or the internet.
