This page is for academic interest only as we take full responsibility of creating your website
Page by page - build your website !
Your web-site consists of individual files of various makes -
html files (.htm, .html), image files (.gif, .jpg), javascript
files (.js), program files (.php, .cgi, .pl) etc. etc. In web
parlance - these files (rather .htm files) are called pages. Actually
- the www is nothing but billions of interlinked pages ! All you
need to do is to place these files as per your preferred directory
structure WITHIN "www" sub-directory of your web-space
and whole world will be able to view or access these files.
It
all starts at ... home !
Among all files (or pages) that your web-site is composed
of - there is one that needs special attention. Any file with
name index (index.htm, index.html, index.php etc.) has special
significance. Within any directory - if you place a file called
index.htm or index.html - browsers will first display this file
- much like the content page of a book. This page is called homepage
or simply home. You should pay special attention in its design
as visitors will get to see this page first. A badly designed
home page can drive away significant number of visitors.

Step... After the break !
Now that we know where the files have to be located in order to
be visible from the Internet, just how do we put the files there?
There are several ways, depending on the local computer.
