Hi,

I would contact the client directly and find out exactly where the hyperlinks should go to. Failing that you could make the hyperlink just go to the index.html page for the time being until you know otherwise.

You should really consider hosting your own clients websites as you can charge extra for hosting, maintenance, etc.

We can offer you a reseller account for only £10 a month and you can host unlimited domains with us.

Hope we can be of help.

Kind Regards

I may be reading this wrong but if your stuck and unsure where the links are heading just use this

Code:

<a href="#">blah blah</a>

then you can either put the corect link in later or let your client do it,but atleast with that it would show up on the page as a link

hope that helps a little

I'm not entirely sure how you can successfully make websites for over a year, but not know about HTML links?

I can only assume that you meant (as Mark seems to have understood) that you didn't know what to put in as the URL as a placeholder until you found out from your client where it should link to?

Seems a slightly strange question to me - perhaps you could clarify?

Not sure this is really about web hosting though - maybe it'd be better if you asked a moderator to move it to the Website Design Forum as you'll probably get more appropriate assistance there?
