To set up additional pages for your website, such as faq.html and contact.html, you will need to create new HTML files specifically for these purposes. To link to these newly created pages, you can utilize the <a> tags.

After five years, this answer has started to receive more upvotes despite being less detailed than other answers provided. Here are some supplementary insights:
When you create extra HTML files and access them, you'll notice that the URL includes the file extension (.html). To remove these extensions, there are various methods available if you are using a web server (local or third-party). One approach, which does not require server-side scripts, has been highlighted in Stephen's comment below.
The solution involves creating folders with matching names (faq, contact, etc.). Once you have established these folders, you simply need to include index files within them (index.html). These index files should contain the relevant content for their respective parent folders.
In essence, this replicates the process of setting up the root location of a website but for subfolders. Typically, websites begin with a root folder named public_html, containing a single index file. Webservers automatically serve index files:
public_html/index.html -> example.com/index.html
-> example.com/
public_html/faq/index.html -> example.com/faq/index.html
-> example.com/faq/ ← 😎
By implementing this setup, you can visit
www.example.com/faq
Rather than
www.example.com/faq/index.html
Just like how you can access
www.example.com
Instead of
www.example.com/index.html
If you desire more precise control, utilizing server-side scripts is recommended. Regardless of the server language used, you have full authority over user navigation and content presentation, irrespective of the requested URL structure.
For Apache servers, exploring the concept of an .htaccess file may be beneficial, although writing and debugging them can be challenging in my opinion.
The functionality of your website heavily relies on the capabilities of your web server. Your web server is responsible for directing URL paths to the appropriate content for display. For websites that consist of static HTML files, professional sites typically utilize HTML templates that are populated with data from databases and various sources through server-side programming languages and templating engines.
Typically, most web servers will automatically route a subpath to an "index.html" file within a directory that shares the same name as the path. However, it's important to note that this behavior can differ significantly depending on the web server and its configurations.
For a basic website setup, the following structure is usually sufficient:
website_folder/
index.html <- serves as the homepage
faq/
index.html <- accessible via "/faq" or "/faq/index.html"
contact/
index.html <- accessed through "/contact" or "/contact/index.html"
On the other hand, a more advanced and professional website often features a layout like:
website_folder/
templates/
homepage.tpl <- an HTML template using a specific templating system.
faq.tpl Popular templating engines include Jinja2,
contact.tpl Django, CTemplate, among others
static/
config/
lib/
src/
...
In this scenario, the web server application (located in "src" in this example) registers handlers for designated paths and these handlers are programmed to populate the corresponding templates accordingly.
