A Beginner's Crash Course 30 page e-book that that outlines in plain English the 5 major processes involved with building and managing a website.From domain regitsration to uploading files to the web host, this PDF e-book provides an overview of webmastering in an easy-to-read format.Comes with rebranding software.Site StructureBefore you can start to learn most new things, whether itbe learning to play a musical instrument or learning tobuild a website, it’s a good idea to know the fundamentaltheory behind WHY you are going to be doing WHAT you aredoing.For web development, an important part of thosefundamentals is found in understanding the structure of awebsite. That is, what components make up a website, wherethey should be and how they get to where they will bestored on the Internet. We’ll call it UnderstandingWebsite File Structure.Folders, Files and the public_htmlWhen working with website documents, it’s easy for thebeginner to be confused about the distinction betweenwebsite files.In other words, websites are structured with many differentkinds of files including (but not limited to) these:1. Web Pages – These are usually .html documents (but notalways)2. Images – These are usually .jpg, .gif, .png and .bmpfiles3. Directories – These are folders that store websitefiles such as web pages and images (or any other webdocument). They are usually used to organize thestructure of the website.4. Digital Products – These can be software applicationsor e-books that users might download from a web site.They are usually .exe, .pdf files - or .zip folders.5. Media – Web sites can also store and deliver streamingmedia such as audios and videos. There are a numberof file types that fit this description and includeaudio files that are .mp3, .wav and other commonformats, or videos that are .mov, .wma, .mpeg and soforth.a. Another kind of “Media” file might be a .swf – orShockwave file. While technically, the browsertreats .swf documents as image files, they canprovide a “media-type” experience that can haveaudio and video animation. In fact, this is why.swf files are so popular. Because they canefficiently provide such an effect, while“costing” the website less resource – like animage file would, these kinds of website fileshave quickly become a standard in developingsites that are far more interactive than lesselaborate websites.But understanding the difference between these file typesmay be as significant as knowing WHERE they are STORED onyour website.One of the most important parts of understanding SiteStructure, is understanding the use of the public_htmlfolder.Every web hosting account must have a folder (directory)that is specifically used for storage of the website files.On most web servers, this folder is almost always calledthe public_html.The public_html can also contain other folders. Thesedirectories might be used to store and organize certaintypes of files the webmaster want to arrange in such a waythat the Site Structure is easier to manage.Additionally, the public_html folder needs to contain adefault “home page” or “landing page” so that when thebrowser finds the public_html on a specific domain’swebsite. It will have a page to land on.When a browser cannot find a specific page, it simplydisplays the contents of the folder it has landed on. Thisis usually NOT what the webmaster wants his visitors tosee.Here’s what a browser might display when there is no indexpage stored in the public_html:The index page that is used in the public_html folder MUSTbe called index.htm or index.html. Browsers only know tolook for that exact syntax when seeking out the defaulthome page of a directory.These will NOT work: Index.html, Index.htm, index.HTML,etc.
