Here it would be worth checking what semantics does «encrypted» carry. The LUKS encryption mechanism (which has been part of Debian, at least, since Etch - that means, since 2007, and must be part of Ubuntu approximately from the same point) handles disk encryption before mounting, but once the partition is mounted, it is completely normal for the POSIX system that lives in it (that is, the encryption is invisible to the programs, it is only a mechanism that ensures the data is safer in case of a physical compromise). If the new Ubuntu systems carry on-demand mounting/unmounting encrypted bits of information, yes, my bet is you will have to store the web-accessible directories outside the encrypted area. But it would be very worth checking and understanding exactly what happens in there. Encryption should not break the usability of the system inside it!
