I'm currently in the process of developing a website for a client, and we're having disagreement on the url format for the site. I am recommending he do a format such as this:
example.com/brand/<brandName>#<categoryName>
example.com/category/<categoryName>/<subcategoryName>#<brandName>
He is wanting to have everything directly off of the main page
example.com/<brandName>#<categoryName>
example.com/<categoryName>/<subcategoryName>#<brandName>
Personally, I'm not seeing anything wrong with having the simple identifier in the URL, as it helps to separate the two varying results, but I could be wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice as to which would be a better format to use and why?
P.S. There are obviously other pages on the site, but they are minimal and make sense. This is our biggest disagreement.
