I am about to restructure a client's site and want to use keywords in directory and page names, separated by a hyphen.
The default page for each directory is index.html, which gives a nice "branding" to each directory as you don't have to list the page name when referencing that directory.
e.g.
www.domain.com/metal-finishes/
The good thing about this method is that it's easy for the client to brand and promote the Metal Finishes directory, for example, as people can easily remember it.
If the default page was also named metal-finishes.html, this would defeat the purpose of branding as no one will remember this default page:
e.g.
http://www.domain.com/metal-finishes...-finishes.html
My question is: should I just forget about also naming the default page and let the "metal-finishes" directory take care of benefiting from the 2 keywords?
Any advice is appreciated.
