POLL: Market Pages URL Structure (1.Viewing)

I have spent a lot of time cleaning up the URL structure of the board.

I am still trying to decide on the URL structure for the free market pages.

The board url structure is dn.ca/members/name etc.

So if I give away dn.ca/name there is a possibility a name could interfere with folder structure on a future upgrade.

So I was thinking of reserving...

DN.ca/market/user or DN.ca/pages/user

Since the official description is going to be Market Pages I figure one of those two words should work.

What is your preference?

Remember Market Pages are going to grow into fully functioning member websites so we have to carefully decide the URL structure before launching the product.


Blogging sites traditionally use site.ca/pages/user so I am voting for site.ca/market/user because they will be Market Pages and the word Market is descriptive as to what it is.

Chime in below.

Market/user makes more sense to me as well. My vote went for Market.

Would anyone be more apt to use Market Pages if the address was:

dn.ca/user instead of dn.ca/market/user

Using a straight dn.ca/user platform has to be closely monitored to make sure nothing interferes with the board url structure that is why I shied away from it.

That said it is possible to do, it would add a bit to my workload and I would do it only if it dramatically increased the user uptake.

DN.ca/user would be pretty cool. For me it would be DN.ca/MapleDots with each user having similar.
