Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The site has been in progress for months now. During this time the company has developed some outstanding suppliers and subsequently more products have been added. Because of this we had to rethink the website structure by adding product categories. This has allowed us to implement cleaner urls which are better for SEO, as well as categorising our products which will provide a better user experience for our customers. It also provides the platform to add more products in the future.

I really appreciate you help Linda. I wanted to ask questions on here before getting in touch with my programmer.

This has confirmed my concerns as to "why" this has happened.

Thank you.

Hello

My father is having a website built called www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk. The site consists of different product categories as set out below

1.Engineered Wood, 2. Parquet & Reclaimed and 3. Prefinished Wood

filtering further into colours

1. /lights-greys/, 2. /beiges/, 3, /browns/ and 4. /darks-blacks

and then the brand name for example Vicenza. Example of a clean url **http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/lights-greys/vicenza/ **

Each and every url is unique

Our programmer has put in place 301 redirects - http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/lights-greys-engineered-wood/vicenza/ - Is this really needed? It does not look clean and will appear like this is Google. This is a completely new site, a new start up business.

I'm very confused as to why he has done this and concerned this method of programming does now follow "best practice". Can any programmer offer any advice? To get a better idea how the url structure is set out, I have attached a jpg image.

Thank you

Faye
