Client review of web pages

If you don't want to upload a site to the web, copy your root folder (and all site files within it!) to a CD.

That way, the pages can be looked at in a browser and won't be vulnerable to being changed readily. If your pages work well locally, that is, in Dreamweaver, then the site will be accessible simply by double-clicking on the index.html file on the CD.

It is okay be leery of uploading pages and sites to the web, but the best solution is to have a "sandbox" area on your own webspace (and to HAVE your own webspace!). That way, you don't have to physically create a CD and deliver it.

For instance, I routinely have copies of sites on which I am working resting on my webspace. As they sit in their own root folders, they are accessible for those to whom you give the URL. You need not have them linked to your own site; in fact, it's probably better if they are NOT linked to your own site, unless you want all and sundry to be looking at works in progress.

When you have more than one site in your webspace, make sure that each is self-contained in its own root folder. The only index.html file that you want to show up by default when someone "goes to" your domain is the home page for the site. 

To wit: 

• My webspace (defaults to my home page, index.html, when my domain URL is called): 
  http://www.gravenimagedesign.net/
• Located within my webspace root might be other sites:
  http://www.gravenimagedesign.net/PHA/ (which would load the index.html page for my PHA 'sandbox' site)
  http://www.gravenimagedesign.net/PAE/ (which would load the index.html page for a PAE 'sandbox' site, if there were one)
• File structure would be as follows:
  home page and files of gravenimagedesign.net (webspace as a whole =  root folder)
  PHA/index.html all PHA files live in the PHA folder, which is ITS root folder
  The URL for this site would be: http://www.gravenimagedesign.net/PHA/{not necessary to add the pagefile name, unless you are not showing an index page}
  PAE/index.html   all PAE files live in the PAE folder, which is ITS root folder {again, not necessary to add the pagefile name to the URL, unless you are not showing an index page}
  The URL for this site would be: http://www.gravenimagedesign.net/PAE/
