I will definitely have a sitemap and I don't think I want any pages more than 4 clicks away from the home page, even if "behind the scenes" they are stored in a hierarchy that is 5 or 6 levels deep.

Fishbase.org (which is great but more scientific and less "sexy" than my site will be), shows individual species at URL's such as this:

[example1.org...]

That's a total nightmare from an SEO point-of-view. If I were to do this all by hand I would use a URL such as this:

"http://www.example2.org/sharks/grey-reef-shark.htm"

I'm definitely tending towards a CMS and Drupal at the moment is winning for me. Im hoping that whatever I choose will allow me to make URL's approaching that simplicity and search-engine-friendliness.
