Thoughts please.

there is a reason why i do the /html folder... mainly because the package i use for site designing (NetObjects Fusion) does it by default - it can be altered to set it for other methods but pretty much these day's i've grown to like the original idea & then it has helped me because then i can set the different stuff in the relevent folders... the homepage is always in the root directory, all the HTML pages go in the HTML folder & then any applications (such as forums, guestbooks, directory pages, mailing managers for newsletters etc) go into seperate folders.. this mainly keeps the whole site neat so i know if i have to alter on part of the site i just go into the relevent folder so if for example i have a index.php file in a seperate folder, i'm not going to fall into the trap editing a guestbook index file when i'm altering an index file from a different folder.   At one time i used to drop all the HTML files into the root directory but usually got into a terrible mess!

Plus I'm able to keep seperate folders for images, flash files & javascripts.. like i say just for my own convenience... it doesn't make navigation any more difficult.

website pro's i think

your suggestions are very much appeciated

have to say i do have dreamweaver but for some reason always favour NOF... probably for ease of use, however learning the package is a bit tricky but once you get an idea of how it works, it becomes quite simple.
