Nicer looking URL structure

Hi there,

I'm building a website and was wondering how I can get better looking URLs.

I don't want to have the .html
- example.com/about-us.html
- example.com/services.html
- example.com/contact-us.html

Instead I would like to use
- example.com/about-us
- example.com/services
- example.com/contact-us

I've tried this method before using directories but I'd prefer not to
- example.com/about-us/index.html
- example.com/services/index.html
- example.com/contact-us/index.html
However, this method gets kind of complicated when I have to rewrite all my images and css files to back one level with "../"

Is there an easier way to get nicer looking URLs? Thanks in advance for the help!

 

Are you uilding your website with anything in particular, or are you just using static HTML?

 

Just static HTML. It's a simple 7 page website. I just think no .html extension would look nicer and doesn't it have better SEO?

 

There is nothing like , removing the html will give you a better SEO. And to have those kind of Urls you have to use htaccess url rewrite. Something like :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 ^[^\.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.html [L]
</IfModule>
