Why not just this?

(defun make-index ()
  (with-open-file (str "d:/webpage/index.html"
		   :direction :output :if-exists :supersede
		   :if-does-not-exist :create)
    (html-stream str (:html
		      (:head (:title "Test"))
		      (:body (:h1 "Test")
			     "HTML generator test.")))))

You can also specify it as "d:\\webpage\\index.html".
