Q: 

Keeping Pages in its own folder?

I'm wondering if it would be okay to keep all of my pages in one folder on a site. and leave only the index.html page in public_html?

I know the URL will be like example.com/pages/about.html but theirs a way to change that right?

+1  A: 

This is fine. Theres no reason why it should be a problem. And theres no reason why there should be a problem with your URL being example.com/pages/about.html. If you prefer that, then you do that... its fine.

You can always "mask" your URLs using MOD_REWRITE. Look up mod_rewrite and .htaccess files. You will be able to set a rule to "mask" something.html to pages/something.html. Its not hard to do.

that's fine. :) you can put any files anywhere you want (in public_html). Just make sure all your links are pointing to the right place.
