      Hi, looking for some advice on the structure for a relatively small site (around 200 pages).

      I'd like a structure where we can talk about our services as well as write blog articles on topics that relate to our services. We'll have loads more content in the blog area than in the services area.

      I was thinking of this:

      option 1:

      /services

      /services/copywriting
      /services/social-media
      /services/press-releases

      etc.

      and categories for articles where we'd give tips, talk about trends etc.

      /copywriting
      /social-media
      /effective-press-releases
      etc.

      would it be better to have a different structure, say:

      option 2:

      /copywriting
      /copywriting/services
      /copywriting/articles

      OR

      option 3:

      /copywriting-services
      /copywriting-blog

      OR

      option 4:

      /services/copywriting
      /blog/copywriting

      OR is there another, better way perhaps? Of course the internal anchor text links to the services/blog articles pages will be tuned to try and make it clear what each section is about i.e. our services vs. industry trends/comments/tips for the blog.

        Definitely option 4, from my perspective and opinion. That is the same structure I use for my site and all clients website.

        /Services/SERVICENAME

        /BLOG/CATEGORY/POSTNAME or /BLOG/POSTNAME

        I'd go with option 4!

          Wow, that was quick. Thanks David!

          Reckon we'll go with blog/postname as it makes it easier to restructure categories later too.
