Q:

Natural URL Design and static front page

A static front page and other pages which are children of it are used on a blog. To give an example:
www.example.com
The slug for that page shows up in the permalink for sub pages like www.example.com/long-slug-from-static-front-page/sub-page-slug.html.
The question now is how to make the URL Design more natural? Since the parent page is the frontpage, it's slug should be the sites homepage-URL (e.g. none as in http://www.example.com/) but the static pages slug is added instead.
I smell that this is a shortcoming in WordPress, any ideas?
I was asked to make the scenario more concrete by an Illustration because it was quite akward describben. Sorry. Aim is to use WordPress as a CMS to reflect the following structure (please not the other way round):
Illustration:
Logical Data and it's Structure:

Start

Blue
Red

Dark Red
Light Red
Burned Red

Yellow

Mapping of Data to Pages:

Start: Home-Page

Blue: Blue-Page
Red: Red-Page

Dark Red: Dark Red-Page
Light Red: Light Red-Page
Burned Red: Burned Red-Page

Yellow: Yellow-Page

URL Layout:

Home-Page: http://example.com/

Blue-Page: http://example.com/blue/
Red-Page: http://example.com/red/

Dark Red-Page: http://example.com/red/dark/
Light Red-Page: http://example.com/red/light/
Burned Red-Page: http://example.com/red/burned/

Yellow-Page: http://example.com/yellow/

Is WordPress the tool for the job? Or does using page hierarchy and static front-page contradicts the URL layout?

A:

WordPress does have a way of doing what you want. Make them all top level pages. Unless you have a good reason not to.
