If you’re somewhat new to making websites, or if you’re like me and find yourself making new websites on a regular basis, whether it’s for work or something else, you might find this useful. I find it a chore to constantly make the same files when making a new website, so I’ve put together a basic startup kit that contains all the files/folders I usually need to get going with the development. Here’s what’s included:

index.php > With doctype & appropriate head tags defined.
robots.txt > With major search engines allowed by default, cgi-bin disallowed.
style/global.css > With a couple basic preset classes.
style/index.html > Blank file to disable directory browsing.
images/spacer.gif > 1×1 pixel transparent gif.
images/index.html > Blank file to disable directory browsing.

Extract the zip and use these files as a starting point when making websites. There isn’t instruction included with these files, if you know what you’re doing you’ll know what to do with them. If not, I’ll probably have a guide for this eventually.
