Splash-page: Need Help

[Spenser46]

I try to get rid of a splash-page. My problem:
I have never done any asp-programming. All I normally do is to program my sites manually with HTML and CSS. The reason I was asked by a German lady in Northern Cyprus to do some work for her, is that the original programmer moved to Turkey several months ago and never got in touch with her again. All I have got is the data to access the site.
What I have found are some files which are important, I think:
There is a) an index.asp file which represents the splash-screen and b) a default.asp file which seems to hold the main parts for all pages (e.g. the meta-tags, basic structure etc).
Therefore my question: Can I just delete the index-file and rename the default.asp-file to index.asp? Or what should I do in order to get rid of the "index.asp"-file?
Thank you!

Why get rid of it? Don't rename the default.asp as you have already indicated that it provides content/functions for web site. If each page has dynamic content then removing default.asp could make it break. To avoid this you would have to redo the whole site as static pages

Look at the code of a typical page and if necessary include the code which points to the default.asp (i.e. <!--#include file="default.asp"-->)in any new pages you might create. Remembering to save new pages with the .asp file format.You can use html/css with asp pages.

Why to get rid of it?

Because other Search engines (besides Google) won't follow the Links inside the Splash page. And because there is no text inside it, it's not at all good for SEO.

So: what can I do to get rid of it without destroying the other pages. main.asp should be the first to see. Can I rename that one to index.asp?

Don't see why not.

Are you sure default.asp is being used for anything?
If it is not being used, you should delete it, and leave just index.asp as the index page for the site.
