How do I make an index.php/index.html page for my site?

[Chris9]

I built my own site about past severe and bloody murders which shows pictures via a webbuilder. On the first page I put in a disclaimer that you must be at least 18 to view and I put in Enter and I am not 18 EXIT buttons. There are navigation links at the top of every page on the site and they also come up on the welcome/disclaimer page I made. I tried hiding the navigation links by matching their color to the background - but then they just dissapeared on ALL the pages. I was told to make a disclaimer page is to make a index.php/index.html page- I don't know what that is. I need to either remove the navigation links from the page I made so that the Enter Exit buttons cannot be bypassed, or make the page over in a way that will work- I need help in knowing how to do that.

You need to learn basic html. Spend about a half hour learning that and then you will know how to get rid of the navigation links, or at least you will have a better understanding so someone can explain to you how to remove it. Index.html or index.php are your main page, your homepage. Your website is either html coded or php coded. So you have one or the other as your main page. The pages of a website have those extensions after it. For example, your contact page would be something like contact.html or contact.php. If you make an index.php or index.html file, then its just like making a brand new home page all together, you would have a blank page and have to add all the things to it to make the home page again. So if you want to keep your main page, I suggest you dont replace the index file, instead, learn HTML and go into the index file to remove the navigation links from within the index file.The navigation links may not be in the index file though, I would have to look at your site to be able to tell. They may have put the navigation links in your header files or footer files (header.html/.php or footer.html/php). Hard to explain unless you know html, and if you know html, then theres no need for explanation. This is just one of those things that would be impossible to describe to someone who doesnt know html. Check out LearningHow2.com, read that whole page, especially the bottom part about HTML. After reading that page you will understand. Send me a message with your website if its online, or post it here if you want me to take a look at it.
