I'm fairly new to Site Designer and started working on a few projects to try the software out, so I'm still trying to get a hang of it.

But, I was wondering if you could structure the HTML files into folders? I couldn't see a way to do this right away and wondered if this feature existed? I saw this post here, but it was about an 8 year old post and wondered if there were any updates to it:

Having no folder structure for a small website may be okay, but I have some clients that may want a website with hundreds of pages and likely with sub URLs to separate the different areas of the website, for example:

site.com/photo_gallery/
site.com/photo_gallery/unique_photo_gallery
site.com/photo_gallery/a_different_photo_gallery/
site.com/video_gallery/

Site designer uses a flat folder structure; it saves all the HTML documents in the same folder. When adding images/galleries/videos etc to the site, you can put your images in different folders, creating your own structured system. The same if you are adding e.g. extra style sheets or JS documents.

There are ways and methods by which you can create a folder system for the HTML files too, but since you're saying that you are fairly new to SD, I wouldn't advise you to do so - yet. But what I mean is, like I have done with my sharing library, I use several (all in all 6) SD projects that I stick together. I let one of the projects be the 'mother project', and inside it, I have 5 subfolders, one for each of the other projects. I know of others who do the same to structure their site.

Inger, I didn't quite understand. For example, I have a multilingual website project, and I need to have 3 folders for 3 languages, i.e., a folder ES for Spanish, a folder TR for Turkish, a folder AZ for Azerbaijani. Each folder will contain the corresponding language version of the site. I always did it that way.

Now the question: does SD work with a multilingual project using the same logic, or does SD have its own approach?
If the logic is the same, how are these language folders created?

If you look at your project on the top nav thingy there is a tab called 'recources' open that tab, along the top of that you will see a button called 'add folder' select that it than presents you with a window that you use to give the folder a name, then hit ok.
SD then creates the folder and places it on the project root.
When you need add your files, you open resources, go down to the folder you created, select it, when it opens there is a button 'add files, it then presents you with a window on which you can browse to insert your files, (multiple files can be inserted by selecting the ones you want) hit ok again and SD puts then into the folder.

There are a couple of other ways that are probably easier but considering you are new to SD perhaps best to learn to crawl before you walk, and then learn to run when you can walk

Also on your project file along the top nav again you will see a button for 'help' if you open that there are links to various help files on Coffee cup site. Take the time to have a look around those. We here on this forome can also help whenever we can in various ways too, I for instance do step by step tutorials tailored to your project, others also do, and then others can explain with words or by doing an example all you need do is ask
, and we will try help as much as we can.

Got it, I'll do it!



I agree and will do so!



А вот за это отдельное спасибо, не заметил !

I'm sorry! I use three languages ​​at once, and since I’m not a linguist, it’s difficult for me and I get confused, so I mistakenly copied it from a Russian translator and didn’t pay attention. The phrase was " But special thanks for this, I didn’t notice!"
