When I want to save my website as a bookmark, the bookmark is called ‘Index’ which is the first page of the website.
Is there a way to change this so when people bookmark my website on their browser it would force their browser to bookmark my page with a more relevant name that relates to the website?
I would like to do this without changing the first pages name from index.

If you go to the Inspector, with no items selected on your page, you
will see there is a space to type in ‘Title:’ and below it one for
‘File:’
In ‘Title’ give your page a useful name and for ‘File’ keep it at
index.html
The ‘Title’ is the text that appears at the top of some browsers and
which is also read by search engines. It is also the one usually
picked up as a bookmark title.
‘File’ is the filename read as part of the URL for that page, which
instructs the browser to open it. Index.hmtl is a default value for
the first (home) page of your site so that it is he first one looked
for it you type just the basic the address for your domain.

Thanks for that, I knew it would be easy, but I thought that it would rename my index page.

Yes quite often if you have a page name (Title) of Home Page for example then FW will put homepage.html in the File name box
If it does - and you don’t want it to - you can easily re-enter your index.html or whatever back in the File name box - remembering to hit the Enter key after.

Yep - and here’s some further detail:
The first page Freeway creates in a new site document, and in any new
folder too, will be given the FILE name of “index.html”, regardless
of what the TITLE might be. This is because you should always provide
a default web page to serve if a visitor doesn’t specify a specific
page - and the standard default name is “index.html”.
All other pages have their file name automatically built from
whatever the page title might be, so if you call a page “My Big Fat
Page” then the file name will be “mybigfatpage.html”. Spaces are
stripped out and everything’s converted to lower case.
Other than those pages that are named “index.html” for you, changing
a page’s title will automatically change its name. Editing the above
example page from “My Big Fat Page” to “Web Madness” will cause the
file name to be changed to “webmadness.html”. All links in your
document that point to this page will automatically be updated.
IF, however, you edit the FILE name then you break the link between
the title and the file name. From then on, changing the title will
have no effect on the file name.
(All this is done using the Inspector palette, of course.)
