Splitting web site

[jronc]

I am trying to help someone split a website- basically one partner is leaving a partnership to form his own company. So, what I'm trying to accomplish is this: visitor goes to any site on original domain and they see a splash page that directs them to either continue into the site for partner 1, or follow another link to the site for partner 2.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help.

jronc --

The words "splash page" resonate like fingernails on a blackboard around here :-)

If you care about people finding your sites in a search engine, or existing links from other sites continuing to work then the correct approach is to "redirect" the correct set of pages to the new site.

If your goal is to let people know they are landing on a new page, a simple recommendation would be to have the new pages say "Jack and Jill are now on separate websites. You are now on Jill's new site. If you want Jack's site, click here."

There are many bits of information here to help you know how to do this redirection in a proper way. Look for "RewriteRule", "RewriteCond" and .htaccess as a starting point.
