@roycewilliamsj This is happening due to the paths that your site is being built with.
The files aren’t extracted from wherever they are when you deploy them, they don’t move, it’s just that whatever is the Publish directory becomes the root, so if you deployed:
Publish Directory = /public/pages = your html files would be viewed at /
Publish Directory = /public = your html files would be viewed at /pages
Publish Directory = / = your html files would be viewed at /public/pages
Since you have /public set, then your html files can be seen here:
https://main–aesthetic-trifle-0b8ad0.netlify.app/pages/
The reason that all the content is broken, is due to the paths within the content.
The code of the site expects that it will be in a folder of /public/pages
If you’re trying to serve from the root, you’ll need to change all your paths/references.
You want a structure, and references, more like:
/js/app.js
/contact.html
/index.html
/team.html
/work.html
