How should I organize my pages? Directory or no directory?

Hey There

1. This depends on how the site might grow. Will it always only list DJ's? In other words that's the core "topic" of the site? Will you ever create a directory of well known gear, MCs, venues, album etc?

If the content is always going to be centered around "DJs" than I say NO subdirectory. If it may grow at somepoint - you should be mindful of that, but honestly I don't see this being the case so I' still say no subdirectory.

2. Seeing as I'd recommend not using a directory, this answer is set

Going off of this - all DJs are artists, but not all artists are DJs. (In fact not all "artists" are really musicians - they could be painters). So I wouldn't go with artists.

All DJs a musicians but not all musicians are DJs - so I still think something like djz.com/musicians/skrillex doesn't make sense.

3. See above

4. 301 Redirects are fine. You just don't want "chains" of redirects - for example;

DON'T do this;

Page A -> Page B -> Page C

DO this;

Page A -> Page C

Page B -> Page C

• -

So to sum up - it wouldn't be a huge detriment to leave it just how it is - but to make it perfect, you could put all the DJs at the root level djz.com/skrillex using 301 redirects.

Hope that helps!
