Birchandra, Some good comments above about routing, and they are even more important when you consider the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) benefits.
I suspect your site will have difficulty getting good search engine rankings as it currently stands, but with a few changes could do a lot better. some not strictly Symfony related, but we're talking about a whole package here :-). The routing engine in Symfony is a fantastic resource and shouldn't be overlooked. Consider the search engine crawlers as a blind user with no CSS, no Javascript and no Flash and try out your site. See how far you get! Here are a few comments from a quick look. This is meant as constructive help, so please don't take it badly 8-) * There is no html link alternative for the flash landing page. ( My personal preference and IMHO the industry trend is away from landing pages altogether, but that's a different debate :-) How will the no- Flash or Search Engine get to your (real) home page? * The main menu has no HTML alternative, so the search engine has no way of getting to all the pages in your site, and so cannot index them, so cannot return them in search results. I suggest you check out the SWFObject (http://www.swffix.org/devblog/ which is the latest version of http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/) - Add a html version of the menu with <ul><li> tags in a div, then replace that div at page load time with the flash using SWFObject). There may be a nice Symfony way to do this. Anyone? * I agree with the comment suggesting you remove the /home/ from all the urls, however I would also remove the /index in the suggested urls, so the news page would be simply http://www.amrit-cwt.com/news * I second the comment about adding some nice routing for the news items. Search engines tend to ignore query strings. Routing is one of the (many) great benefits of using Symfony, so instead of http://www.amrit-cwt.com/home/news?id=3 you could have something like http://www.amrit-cwt.com/news/our-drinkable-water-supply-is-vanishing * Finally, I notice there is no heading on the news page - a proper <h1> heading and unique <title> tag are possibly the simplest, easiest yet most effective SEO methods. SEO is a HUGE topic and the above is, of course, hardly even scratching the surface. However, In terms of "bang for the buck" you will get a lot further if you do some very basic things.
