Website Structure

A clear, logical URL structure improves navigation, SEO and overall site organization. Aim for descriptive, hierarchical paths that reflect your content.

Key components

  • Protocol Begins with https:// for secure data transfer.

  • Domain name Your registered address (e.g. mydomain.com).

  • Top-level domain (TLD) The suffix like .com, .org or a country code (.au).

  • URL segments Path sections separated by /, showing hierarchy.

  • URL slug The human-friendly text at the end of a path, summarizing the page for both users and search engines.

Example structure

Page type
URL

Home

mydomain.com/

About

mydomain.com/

Our Corgis

mydomain.com/our-corgis

Litters

mydomain.com/litters

Contact us

mydomain.com/contact-us

FAQ

mydomain.com/faq

Blog

mydomain.com/blog

For content-specific pages, nest slugs under their parent:

  • Breeding page mydomain.com/litters/my-first-litter

  • Article page mydomain.com/blog/my-first-article

  • Individual profile mydomain.com/our-pugs/apex-elite-charlie-smith

This approach keeps URLs intuitive for your visitors and helps search engines understand your site’s structure.
