Friendly URLs

With friendly URLs, you can allow website users to access web pages with multiple URLs. For example, if your standard donation page is www.example.org/donate, you can create the friendly URL www.example.org/disasterrelief to direct users to that page in response to a natural disaster. Web browsers display friendly URLs just like the actual URLs.

Website users can also create friendly URLs. For example, if you support user networking on your website, a website user can add a profile page for the account and create a URL that is easy to remember, type, and verbalize to other users.

You can also create friendly URLs to link to another website. For example, you can create a friendly URL to link to an elected official’s website. When you create a friendly URL, we recommend you keep it short, simple, and easy for users to remember and verbally communicate.

Friendly URLs are an extension of your website’s domain. For example, a friendly URL to a web page about your organization’s annual walkathon could be “www.example.org/walkathon.” The domain name entered in the Site URL field on the Settings tab in Sites & settings determines the domain that appears in friendly URLs.
