How do I go about making the index page a index.html instead of a index.aspx?

Also I want to make all my category pages .html as well.

Is this possible with this ecommerce platform?

Any help is appreciated.

You can upload your index page into the root directory of the file manager and naming this index.html will have it show up as your home page. You could also create your own category pages to show up this way and then link to the product pages if you wish to do so.

Hope this helps,

I would recommended contacting your design rep regarding this. I would assume that would be something they would be able to do for you.

If I currently have a index.html would index.aspx still be shown and fuction?

I think the seo engines would consider that duplicate content and penalize me.

Hi vipmedia,

If you upload index.html this will show up when you go to domain.com instead of domain.com/index.aspx showing up. Note though that the home page index.aspx will always be active though.

One thing that you can do though to prevent duplicate content is to simply change the title, keywords and description tags so they are not the same on both pages. Also if you are using any text to describe your site, make sure that text is different on both pages.

As an alternative, you could use the page redirect function to have indes.aspx to index.html, thus a single unit of content on the index.html page avoiding penalty.
