Prepare Website Template
In this page, we explained how to prepare a website template in order to be edited and basic information about websites and their files.
I will use the template below to create my website. (You can download the same template from the Website Templates page) To prepare template files, I downloaded it and extracted its files into a folder named My_Website. (Click on the image for bigger one)
Let me explain briefly what are these files and folders.
Root Folder: The top level folder of our website is called root folder. This folder must contain all files and folders of our website and there must be an index.html (or index.htm) file must in it. Because we will upload only the root folder to web server in order to publish our website. If we use an image that is not found in root folder, it will not displayed when website is uploaded into a web server. Therefore, always keep in mind that you must put images, videos etc into root folder first and then add it into web pages.
index.html: This file is a web page and we will use it as a homepage. When we type a website address(url) into a browser, it displays index.html page first. For example if you visit www.build-websites-easily.com, browser will display you the index.html page. Therefore, we will not change this file's name and location.
images folder: This folder contains images of website template. I will use it as a default image folder.
Css Folder: This folder contains some css files that arranges page layout and font properties etc. Although I will not use it, I will not delete it because it may have been used when template was created.
templatemo_style File: This file includes some css codes too.
