Your site has been segmented into folders.
Generally, you have folders for
- content: where your web pages live
- assets: contains graphics, photos, documents, multimedia, etc
- supporting folders: various areas where special files live that
add functionality to your web site (like include files and page
pieces) or provide e-tools and extras included in your site (like
branded email, merchandising, newsletter processing, custom error
page, and the online editor). More on all of these later.
Depending on what tool you use to look at your web site's folder
structure, you may see more folders. This document covers the ones
you need to know about for maintaining your web site.
You have the following folders in your root directory:
