How to save your website files the right way

Hi, I am working on creating a website from school and one of the things our teacher emphasized was good file saving. But I am a bit lost on how do you save your notepad file for html, CSS, while also creating folders to save images for your website. How does one save their files for their website in a good way so it doesn't get messy? Thanks, Diana

There are many ways you can do it but... Create a folder for your site. In that folder put your HTML and add other folders for CSS, JS, Images, etc...

Depending on the structure of the site can also effect how you structure the supporting file system. You can use Developer Tools in Chrome, Safari or Firefox to look at how others encapsulate their files
