Clarke:
A web site must be run using a web server, and that server will have a
main or home directory referred to as the root folder of the website.
It's possible to use a web browser to just view files in a directory
that may have sub-folders, but that is not a true web site.
The file arrangement on a web site usually is not a critical issue. It
depends on many factors, including the size of the site, the
capabilities of the administrator or developer and who else will have
access to the site. It may also depend on the particular editing
software used to build and work with the site. For example, if FTP is
used to transfer files to and from the site and several people do this,
the administrator can control who can access particular parts of the
site via FTP if the files are grouped into folders off the root.
If the site is small to medium size, say less that a few hundred files,
and the developer is not well-versed in working with links and URLs, it
usually is best to just put everything in the root folder. It may be a
good idea to put graphics and photos in an images folder off the root,
particularly if you have a large number of these files.
If this does not answer your questions, get back to me via email or phone.

Here's my question for anyone doing web development on a Mac. How do
you organize your files for development. Do you put everything under
Documents, create new folders inside of your home folder? What?
Thanks for any tips.
