Now I have made another pages put them in one folder For example Folder Name Called….. ABC and other new pages goes to this folder When I made these pages there is design issues like images are gone and links are not appearing, etc…. <a href=â€http://www.xyz.com/index.htmlâ€>Home</a> <a href=â€http://www.xyz.com/contactus.htmlâ€>Contact Us</a> (same as footer) As SEO prospective which one is best.

Thanks & Regards, James
From an SEO perspective they're all good. If the crawler can follow them, it will index them. They're intelligent enough to figure out if its your site or not and all three of those links are.
There is absolutely no difference to these links in Google; just make sure they all are not broken links with a free link checking program such as "xenu" You may want to edit a file called ".htaccess" to add the "www" part of the web address if someone doesn't type it in. The "www" part can be a pain when full linking with http://www.xyz.com/index.html, as the same page can be found at: http://xyz.com/index.html Google ".htaccess" for more info, Good luck!
The search engines see it as TWO sites and will save both and then have a unique content problem or a linkback problem (people will be linking to the www version and the basic "http://xyz.com" version too
