Site Map
The Fermilab web site is divided into several main "hubs". (View a graphic representation) All content falls within one of these main areas. View a complete listing of "hubs" and tertiary sections within the site.

File Structure
The Fermilab web site file structure should be as self documenting as possible. Therefore, we recommend that, whenever possible, the traditional "tree" structure be. This allows others to make quick sense of your work and expand the site easily in the future.

File Naming
The Fermilab web site is hosted on a UNIX platform, so case matters. "MYFILEMANE.html" is entirely different from "myfilename.html." We recommend using lower case for all filenames. Spaces are not allowed in filenames. If you require a space for clarity, use an underscore character.(_) All HTML documents should use the ".html" extension. Even though we are using server-ide includes, the server has been set up to parse all HTML documents, so the .shtml extension is not used.

Pease make file names descriptive enough to be logical to all users.
