November 3, 201114 yr Hello, im new to this site and need a little help with my website. Im not sure if this is the right section, if it is not please tell and im sorry if it isnt. I made my site with illustrator, photoshop, and iweb (mainly because i like the drag and drop functionality) but i need help on how to make it more professional. Like for example I when i goto one of my site, www.footeau.com in the adress bar i get http://footeau.com/Footeau/Footeau_-_Apparel_%26_Prints.html i do not want it to say this. And i would like any advice on making this more professional.
November 3, 201114 yr Never used iweb. My first thoughts are that it has potential if it had been made using different technology - the t-shirts are actually quite nice.
November 3, 201114 yr The problem with drag and drop and WYSIWYG web editors is that they don't produce clean code or. Professional site. It's not your flat it's just the way it is.
November 4, 201114 yr Author So, any other advice but does anyone know how to fix the main problem I have, and how should I make sites on my Mac, what software do units use
November 4, 201114 yr So, any other advice but does anyone know how to fix the main problem I have, and how should I make sites on my Mac, what software do units use Professional websites aren't made with drag and drop/WYSIWYG editors, they are coded. So if you want something more professional, you're best off learning HTML etc.

You're main page should be called index.html (or index.htm, index.php etc etc) and the server should, by default, be set up to serve that page as your domains home page.
November 4, 201114 yr index.html is being redirected by the looks of things Looks as much. Appears the whole site is sitting inside a folder called 'Footeau' and the original index file is directing there. You could try uploading the contents of the folder 'Footeau' to the main root directory which should bypass the re-direct and extra folder name. However as i can't see your directory structure, i can't guarantee it'll work. Always make sure you have a back-up on the go. Edit: Yup main domain contains an index file which is... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= Footeau/Footeau_-_Apparel_%26_Prints.html" /></head><body></body></html> Notice the ... <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= Footeau/Footeau_-_Apparel_%26_Prints.html" /> This line is redirecting the main index page to the 'Footeau/Footeau_-_Apparel_%26_Prints.html' file that is in the folder that contains your site. You'de have to move the whole site to the root directory, rename the 'Footeau_-_Apparel_%26_Prints.html' to 'index.html' and correct any links that would have pointed to it.
