Help launching the site.

Hi Everyone,

I'm having trouble sending emails from a live server and localhost... for some reason, whenever I try to send an email the site takes me to a blank screen. I also would like to know why the site is adding an extra element to the URL, for example. my site is http://www.designstudiovega.com but when I click on about it is like this : www.designstudiovega.com/designstudiovega/ and my contact is like this : www.designstudiovega.com/designstudiovega/. How can I eliminate the designstudiovega after the main site address? making my about be the index.php. Thanks in advance!
