If you are working with an Internet service provider or your organization's Web administrator, you should ask how the data access pages, graphics files, and other files should be structured on the server. For example, find out whether you need to create separate folders for bullets and pictures, or whether you need to store all the files in one location. If you plan to use forms or image maps, ask about any limitations on using these items, as they require additional server support. Learn about guidelines for managing Web files and links.
