• Public_HTML
  • index.php
  • about.php
  • contact.php
  • /shop/
    • /football/
      • /shirts/
      • /shoes/
    • /tennis/
  • /blog/
    • /football/
      • /uk/
        • post-about-uk-team.php
        • another-post.php
        • more-posts.php
      • /spain/
        • post-about-spanish-team.php
        • you-get-the-idea.php
      • /other/
    • /tennis/
      • /uk/
        • post-about-uk-player.php

Is this the right way to go about structuring a website ooooorrrrrr

• about.php
• contact.php
• shop.php?category=football
• shop.php?category=football&item=shirts&product=id
• shop.php?category=football&item=shoes&product=id
• shop.php?category=tennis
• shop.php?category=tennis&item=shirts&product=id
• shop.php?category=tennis&item=shoes&product=id
• blog.php?sport=football
• blog.php?sport=football&country=uk

If I would be in your shoes, I would simply create 2 directories called shop and blog,

I would install Opencart in shop directory and Wordpress in blog directory.

 

Your structure sounds good if you are using your own custom code.
