Subsite vs. subfolders - is there advantages to creating subsites?

[klcgolf]

I use FP2003. I have been checking up in the discussion groups on creating a
subsite for my website. I am going to be starting a league and tracking
results on my website. Instead of creating a subfolder with all the new
pages and information, would there be any advantages to creating a subsite
instead? What disadvantages do I need to be aware of as well? Any ideas on
this will help.

Subwebs can be a Stand alone web with unique FP Design Time & Run time tools (themes, borders, etc)

I have a Members' Area sub site at www.sandiwaygolf.co.uk/. Access is
protected by username & password .

If you email me personally I would consider giving you access to see its
nature and extent .

Is there an advantage to having those things different? I'm thinking only if
I want people to experience a "change" when they enter that part of the site.
I wonder if it is just extra work to do it or is there a definite advantage
to creating the subsite?? I may have to decide that myself and just move
forward. I suppose it keeps your FP files cleaner to have them in a subsite
instead of just another folder.

Is it proper or necessary to have an index page for the subsite?

If you don't have an index page for the subsite, you will have to give the
visitors links to individual pages, otherwise, if they enter the subsite
without an index page, they will either get a denied access, or a list of
folders in the subsite, depending on how the host has it set up.

Thanks.

So if I set up the subsite, I pretty much need an index page as the first
link to the subsite. Then browsing will be as usual in the normal site??? I
imagine that setting up links to cross over to the main site functions just
like linking to any other "outside" site, right? If I don't set up an index
for the subsite then the potential for problems finding the site and/or pages
and browsing through the site will be increased dramatically.

Treat your subsite just like you would your regular site.

I think the only real advantage to using a sub site is that you can publish
it's contents independently of the rest of the subsites or parent site.
