Site structure (directory structure)...
Right my directories are just all web pages in my main directory, and then my graphics in /graphics.
The thing is, I want to change this to be things like:
/services/design
/products/PRODUCTNAME
... but this will just cause major problems when displaying graphics, and even links...
Any suggestions?

Sorry, but I've never heard of the term "symlinks" ... ?

Or alternatively use /graphics as the directory for images in your code...
src="/graphics/whatever.gif"
Even if the html file is /services/design, the forward slash tells the server to start at the root (domain name) and then go to the graphics directory. It's called "relative to root" instead of "relative (to file)".

hmm... I just went on an IRC chat and asked basically the same question, and was referred to:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#edef-BASE
Seems like the ideal solution. It is just foreign code to me, for now. Has anyone used this bit of code? I have never seen it used until today.

It's very old, and HTML 4 must be what you're using. It's not valid for XHTML.
So are you saying the markup language level independent "relative to root" uri method won't work for you?
