Creating web apps in WordPress installation

  • I have installed wordpress in root folder (not on a sub folder) and have written 5 blog posts on my website.

    Now I also want to make web apps using HTML/CSS/PHP/MySQL.

    What is the standard procedure to do it ? Should I place all those web apps in the root folder or create a sub folder for it ?

    What do you mean by web app?

    Something like some puzzle games for kids to learn maths. Like these I have begun coding web applications. So Should I put these apps in my Website root folder or create a separate folder ? Does making a separate folder affect search engine rankings ?

    It depends on how the web apps will work

    If your app does not use resources from your WordPress install I would suggest having your server like so:

    / (root)
/wordpress/ (example.com)
/app/ (app.example.com)

    If your app will be using wordpress’s resources I would put it right into your wordpress site.
