title: Multiple index.html files inside folder structure
body: <p>I just came up with an idea. Instead of using an <code>.htaccess</code> file to remove <code>.html</code> from the URL, why not just use a simple folder structure and in each folder add an <code>index.html</code>?</p>
  
  <p>For instance:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>example.com/index.html</code> → <em>Home</em></li>
  <li><code>example.com/about/index.html</code> → <em>About</em></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Now simply use a hyperlink on the homepage to the about folder, since typically <code>index.html</code> files are opened automatically.</p>
  
  <p>The upside of this kind of navigation, is that it would be easily possible to create sub pages with no crazy database / <code>.htaccess</code> setup.</p>
  
  <p>Now my question is: is there any reason not to create a webpage like that and is it legitimate to use multiple <code>index.html</code> files?</p>
  
  <p>I appreciate all the help.</p>
