  • Michael Martinez: I`m not sure what you mean by "better". I don`t think it matters, except how you feel about the aesthetics and organization.

    Always create the kind of Website you yourself would want to visit, bookmark, and recommed to other people. And that includes how you structure the URLs.

  • Mobeen Ali: Michael Martinez By better i meant does that go against the standards if i dont use the group folders in url.

  • Michael Martinez: Mobeen Ali There are no standards for things like this. Do what pleases you because you`ll have to look at those URLs for a long time.

  • Mobeen Ali: Michael Martinez true. What im kinda confused at now is. How do i change the links to website which is already live and have been worked on for a year?

  • Michael Martinez: Mobeen Ali You`ll need to implement 301 redirects on your Website from the old URLs to the new URLs. Leave them in place for all time, or until you change the URL structure again.

  • Mobeen Ali: Michael Martinez right. Thanks.
