Page Names

When creating web pages for your website there are a number of issue regarding page names that you should observe.

  1. Ensure that all pages and images end in a valid file extension. Below is a table of vaild file types and extensions.
    File Type Extension
    Web Page .html, .htm, .html
    GIF Image .gif
    JPEG Image .jpg
    Acrobat File .pdf

  2. Linux servers are case sensitive where are windows PC's are not. Therefore intex.htm and Index.htm can only be one file of a Windows PC, they are two different files on our server. We therefore recommend that you only use lowercase characters. We would also recomment that you only use the characters "a-z", "0-9", "-" and "_". Do NOT use a space, full stop or a forward or backward slash.
  3. Every website has a homepage. In order for a web server to recognise your homepage it must be a specific name. These are the available names index.html, index.htm or index.html.
