Why is my website not working when I FTP?

So, I have just finished creating this simple website. It worked as expected on my localhost. However, after uploading through FTP, and making the website live - the website isn't working: The Javascript isn't working, essentially.

I looked about for answers, and some people said to change the file permissions through your FTP to 755. I did that, but no luck.

Could use any advice

Thanks!

If can go to your site but javascript is not working maybe there is some error in the console to indicate what is wrong?

Or maybe missing a jQuery file? has happened to me :)
