Hi there, I am in the process of setting up a local website with businesses, events and jobs and wondering what I should be using as the URL structure. For example, with events, I have: - Church Events - Community Events - Fundraising Events My current structure is: website.co.uk/events/ I am wondering if I should be including the word events again in the URL? For example: website.co.uk/events/church-events website.co.uk/events/community-events website.co.uk/events/fundraising-events Also, I have similar for business/shops and services as the parent category: website.co.uk/shops-and-services/ Should I then include the words "services", "shops" "business" etc? So, something like: website.co.uk/shops-and-services/arts-and-entertainment-services website.co.uk/shops-and-services/food-and-drink-businesses etc Or should I keep it simple like: website.co.uk/shops-and-services/arts-and-entertainment website.co.uk/shops-and-services/food-and-drink I guess I am a bit confused about whether to use the word "event" after some of the applicable event categories. Can anyone suggest the best practice for such categories? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't know if there is a right way or a wrong way. My personal preferences are to keep things simple. For example, I would not use /xxx/church-xxx but would instead do /xxx/church UNLESS I had duplicate files with the same name, say /yyy/church. In that case to avoid confusion I would definitely do /xxx/church-xxx and /yyy/church-yyy.
