Considerations When Designing Your Website

When developing a website, it is highly recommended to store images and CSS files under /apps/<your-project> so you can reference your resources based on the current design like described by the following snippet.

<%= currentDesign.getPath() + "/static/img/icon.gif %>

The preceding example offers severals benefits:

  • Components can have a different look/feel based on each site using a different design path.

  • Re-design of the website can be simply done by pointing the design path to a different node at the root of the site from design/v1 to design/v2.

  • /etc/designs and /content are the only external URLs that the browser sees protecting you of an external user getting curious about what is under your /apps tree. The above URL benefits also aid your System Administrator to setup better security because you are limiting the exposure of the assets to a few distinct locations.
