I already found several topics and questions regarding this, but it seems everything I'm trying to do doesn't do what it is supposed to do:

.htaccess-file

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?site=$1

As you can tell, nothing to special. This example was taken from this solution here: SEO Friendly URL (with .htaccess)

From my example:

http://example.org/index.php?site=delivery

should result in

http://example.org/Delivery # If it is possible, a capitalized Letter would be cool

I can call the Site manually, but references (to *.css-files) aren't included anymore. Furthermore, the RewriteBase doesn't seem to work.

I added some buggy code to verify that the .htaccess file is loaded (and it is).

If I linke something with <a href="index.php?site=mySite"> - does the URL automagically change to the specific rule? Yes, right? But what could be missing, that the rules aren't applying?

Thank you in advance

Your rule is fine. Because of the rewrite, you have to handle relative links differently now.

So once the rule is in place. You need to add this to the <head> section of your html.

<base href="http://www.yoursite.com" />

Then your JS and CSS will load while using the rule. It's not a .htaccess rule problem.

If I linke something with - does the URL automagically change to the specific rule?

No it does not. You need a rule for that too.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond {THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\ /+index\.php\?site=(.+)
RewriteRule ^ %1? [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?site=$1
