I am a newbie developer
In my opinion, netlify didn’t find any index.html file
Is there index.html file in your projects folder?

Hi @aroncasiano! Welcome to netlify community.

@AwesomeIronman is correct - the most common cause of this issue is a missing index.html file in the root (very important) of your project. More here: [Support Guide] I’ve deployed my site but I still see "Page not found”

do you mean as in the index.html format or naming the files index.html?

At the root of your project folder/directory
there must be an index.html named file
index files name and html that files extension

because when you deploy your folder to the netlify server
and open yoursite.netlify.com, by default it send you
that index.html file

@aroncasiano, I resolved this by setting the publish directory to Desktop/HTML PROJECTS here:

I then triggered a new site deploy, the one linked to below:

I believe this site is working as expected now. If there are other questions or concerns, please let us know.
