 * I tried different export settings with the same export folder containing files
   that don’t work. Open the index file and I get missing CSS and image. Folder 
   structure is not what I expected which should contain standard sub folders like
   CSS, JS, and images. Switch to another similar plugin which does the job as I
   expected.

 * Hey [@skylabb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skylabb/),
 * thanks for your review, and I’m glad you found a working alternative!
 * This mostly happens if the website isn’t built with web standards in mind, which
   can be quickly checked with the w3c validator here: [https://validator.w3.org/](https://validator.w3.org/)
 * Due to the huge variety in the quality of websites built with WordPress due to
   page builders, poorly-maintained plugins, and different hosting setups, the results
   are quite different from website to website.
 * At least by following the minimum amount of web standards provided by w3C you
   can ensure to get a decent result with Simply Static.
 * Best regards,
    Patrick

 * Thanks for the response. Your suggestion of validation checking is a good idea.
   If this step is an important part for a successful export and to minimize surprises,
   it should be mentioned and emphasized on the plugin description page.

 * Hey [@skylabb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skylabb/),
 * thanks a lot for your feedback!
 * You are right, I should make that more clear.
 * I will add that to the description and within the plugin to ensure everyone knows
   what’s going on and what to do.
 * Have a nice evening,
    Patrick
