I have only just branched out from network admin into web development and I wonder if I can pick everyone's brains. I have ploughed through site after site and I am yet to find anyone that can elaborate on the best folder structure for a site.
I understand it is dependant upon what a person is comfortable with and what works for them.
I am creating just a test website on an internal webserver. Initially it will be based on a company that provides hardware and software support.
If anyone can contribute and shed some light on a horribly confused indvidual it would be great.
I Love Deadlines! I especially like the sound they make as they go whooshing by!

I nearly agree with that but I would distinguish between images used for the page structure like curved corners, buttons, logos, etc. and photos (like properties for sale) and another for PHP "include" files (header, footer, menu, etc):-

Folder: css
Folder: js
Folder: includes
Folder: images
Folder: photos
Optional Folder: Website Category
Files

and I would use lower case.
