How to create sites like this?

*Apologize in advanced for the dumb question.

I never understood how website owners structure their website/blog like this. I checked to see if they were using WordPress and they weren't. But they have thousands of articles in many different sections. I'm only familiar with WordPress, so I'm unsure how they arrange their content like this.

They have:
domain.com/news/hardware
domain.com/news/apple

Not sure if these are just categories, but it never shows domain.com/category/example
But it shows domain.com/category/thecategoryname on my WordPress blog. I don't know if they have multiple pages (if these are pages instead of categories or not) and just install WordPress for each page or if they replace keyword Category with domain.com/news instead of domain.com/category/news.

Do you think these are just categories on their site? I'd like to arrange my content like this and have multiple sections instead of using domain.com/category/ but it seems impossible if I'm using WordPress.

they are using wordpress. You can remove "category" in permanent link settings.

I think its a wordpress site or whatever, you can achieve that by using a wordpress, the structure is same as I can say.

Seo yoast plugin can remove the "category" URL slug, or leave it as is. If you choose default, i think your category URL will be like: domain.com/category/yourcategoryname

So you can name one of your categories as news, then your news category URL slug is:

domain.com/news/yourcategoryname

if you choose remove "category" in slug, your category will be like domain.com/yourcategoryname


When you click this category URL, it typically will function same as your Image showed, since their wordpress or whatever template/theme has more functions, that's why you think they are different, but in reality, its a normal case.

go to https://builtwith.com/ and check to scan their site for more information

Use seo plugin like rank math and remove category slug in general settings

You can do some pretty funky stuff in WordPress - especially if you know your way around .htaccess and how to manipulate your permalinks. There are also some plugins for the less technically savvy - bArAsc made a good suggestion above.

That site looks like a standard WordPress jobbie IMHO.
