      We're redoing an entire site and are going to reorganize, and link to the site's pages by directory instead of page name. So instead of:xyz.com/services/fixingtvs.phpit will be:xyz.com/fixingtvsAt first I was thinking 1 index.php page per directory but that will make content management really confusing with a bunch of files with the same name.Anyone have a better idea?Thanks,Matt

        You should be able to do that with a single index.php file in the root folder and mod-rewrite. If you're not sure how to do that, a good developer should be able to help.
