Hello Barb and everyone. I have an SEO question regarding best website folder structure practicing. If there's a video in the course that answers my question then please direct me to it.
I'm currently restructuring/revising my website for better SEO and general navigation. As far as google is concerned, is a website structure shown in the attachments below, acceptable from an SEO standpoint. I want to organize folders where they best seem to fit.
I guess the main question is - Is it ok to have a folder with no main website/html file, but rather have descriptive folders within that folder that have website files. In my structure below, the slideshow folder and the development folder both have no main website file within. Is that ok?
Or would it make more sense to have all of the folders (that are within the slideshows/development folders) located in the main domain folder instead (basically getting rid of the slideshows/development folders altogether.)
Thanks,
Erin

Hey Erin, as a technical SEO question, there are a number of variables. Google is less concerned about your folder and menu structure and more concerned with your visitors experience. Focus on the users experience, delivering the information they seek and work towards increasing their time on page.
