Default Need help please

Goal:

Create a site selling 31 products. need to give customers choice to view prices in canadian and usa at a button switch.

want the site to go only 3 deep meaning

example on affilite sites i create that do extremely well in all search engines i create my homepage then have say 5-10 product pages each one having a menu link down the left side.. each link itself is optimized.. then that goes to a product page and then at most!!!!! there will be 1 or 2 links in that product page taking 3 deep or upon arriving at the site they only have to click 2 times at most.

example someoen arrives at site www.whatever.com

down side is 6 links each one is a product page.. the person goes umm im interest in product 1 clicks on that link... in there would be 5-6 items for sale with a buy now button. and above that a DESCRIPTION LINK so if before they buy they want to look at an enlarged pic and description they can.. by hitting that, that then goes to a seperate page. wala thats it.

3 DEEP

1 arrive at site
2. pick product page - at this point they can buy
3. on product page they can view desctipion page.

in url tems it would look like this

1. www.whatever.com
2. www.whatever.com/product-1.htm
3. www.whatever.com/desctiptionpage.htm

So there you see ALL PAGES are in the main PUBLIC_HTML directory

they do not have other directories.. so paths and pages are optimized...

NOW MY DILEMMA.... i thought i could have someoen create this for my selling site using oscommerce... but they said now. OSCOMMERCE wotrks in numbers and such so each product page would end up being like this

http://www.whatever.com/products/cat...everitemis.php

totally not the way i planned.. its way to deep.. and wont rank well.. i want everthing to be in the same directory is it possible? just o hjave like

www.whatever.com/product-page1.php
www.whatever.com/descriptionpage.php

none of this long URLS that search engiens look at and go EEEEEEEEEkkkkk.!!

I am willing to pay someoen to do this buy i dont have much money...

Never had a problem with ranking and long URLs....

With 31 product why don't you use the "buy now" button link solution.... Make a SINGLE HTML page with WHATEVER you want the search engines to look at.

There is also a "ALL PRODUCTS" contribution that I have herd of that may be in line with what your asking.
