Again, Colin, thanks for your guidance. I just finished visiting my friend's site , viewing its source code and talking to him by phone
He's got a column of links on the left. Clicking one brings up the referenced page with the URL: www.xxxx.com/ThePage.html. He's sophisticated enough to see how the link is coded and where the page's code is stored and how it's programmed. So he can replicate the structure, substituting "mom" as appropriate. Then the mom.html appendage will bring up mom's one-and-only page without her visitors ever bringing up his law-office pages, so mom can publish that URL. But he's not averse to actually having a link to mom's site on his home page so that her users can access it that way. I think he'll be OK, but if not I'll try to help him ... backed by my resources, like this NG.
