Message says website under construction and that I should replace index htm. I don't know what this means or what to do.

My website gives a message that it is under construction and says to replace index htm. I don't know what this means and I don't know what to do.

iWeb has two ways to publish a website - via FTP to the root folder on a server or to a local folder...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
With either method, two items are produced - an index.html file and folder with the same name that you gave the site in iWeb.
When a visitor enters the URL - http://www.domain-name.com/ - this opens the index.html file which, in turn, opens the Home or Landing Page of the site. Without this file nothing will happen.
If you are attempting to upload your files using the iWeb FTP, try using the settings shown in the first example on the above mentioned page. Leave the Directory/Path field blank so that the files are uploaded to the root folder.
If you are using an FTP application you need to know the name of the root folder so that you can upload the index.html file and website folder to it. If you are in doubt, ask your hosting service what that is. My own hosting service allows me to create and name the root folder(s) but most others require that you upload to a "public_html" or "www" folder which seems kind of backward to me!
