Customizing Your Site's Directory Structure

Although Corel Website Creator X6 offers three preconfigured directory structures, you might need to customize your site’s directory structure further. Customizing the site’s directory structure is usually only necessary if your ISP or host server requires a specific structure for websites. You can customize the site’s directory structure in Publish view by renaming, rearranging, or deleting site folders, creating custom folders, or changing the publishing properties for folders, pages, and assets.

A C in the Attributes column of an item in Publish view indicates the item was customized. For example, a directory with a new name or a file moved from one directory to a new directory displays a C in the attributes column.

Customizing your directory structure does not change the appearance, design, or content that your site visitor sees; it only controls how the pages and assets are stored on the server, and the URL to access the site’s interior information.

Corel Website Creator X6 saves the customized directory structure in the Sitename.nod file so you don’t have to reconfigure the structure each time you generate the site’s HTML files or transfer them to a server.
