To bokehman, yeah it is.
There is also a big inconvenience when it comes to doing things that way, and it's making sure all the URLs resolve to the same places. Sure, you can always go "/pedigree/persian" but that assumes that the root of the program is the root of the web tree, which, unfortunantely and especially for prepackaged programs, is not always the case. It's a bit of an inconvenience having to go through all your URLs and making them work out. (It's not impossible, of course)
The problem with doing it the folders way is that it suggests a hierarchy of pages, and goodness there are many setups that don't follow a clean hierarchy.For me the most professional way is any way that is easy for the viewer. So 'cats.com/pedigree/persian' is a lot easier than 'www.cats.com/index.php?type=pedigree&breed=persian'. If anyone prefers typing the second one please see a psychiatrist!
