Hi,

 

I am currently converting my 150+ page static website to be dynamic via a CMS that i have built.

 

due to rankings on search engines, i would like to keep the same URL's (not sure if this is possible)

 

At the moment when i create a page via my CMS it gives it the following URL "page.php?=[iD]" would it be possible to create a page and give it a URL i want....

 

for example if my static site has a page called "press-releases.html" can my dynamic site have the same URL?

 

Thanks in advance

By using mod_rewrite and .htaccess, you'll be able to do exactly what you want.

Have a look at this, this and this to give you a better understanding of how it all works.

I guess i would have to rewrite each URL on a seperate line? to convert all my current static URL's to be dynamic?

 

This is the sitemap for my static website: http://www.ukfishersonline.com/sitemap.html if u hover over each link you will see their URL's i need exactly the same URL's for my dynamic site.

About halfway down the page here is what you're after assuming you're just changing the extensions from html to php.
