Organizing the website - Optimizing Graphics - Names and Extensions - Links

** Organizing the website ** When you begin a site, organization of the site is perhaps the most important thing you do. If you have no clue to the structure of your site, you'll end up eventually with a huge folder and one big mess! Basic parts: text, images, media (flash or other movies) If your site has several sections: for example, pets, homes, kids, adults, each section can have it's own images, text, and media. Here is what the organization might look like. (Remember the first file must be named index.html!) Now this is a very simplified illustration, but hopefully helps. At the top level are three things: index.html and two folders: genpix (for general pictures) and animals. In the genpix folder there are 3 graphics. In the animals folder there are two more folders and 4 pages. Inside the pixwild and pixpets folders are two images each. Additional help available.
