So you change the page name to "professional services" so it should be accssible using www.site.com/professional-services but you can also access that same page using the old name like www.site.com/home ?
Okay so if I understand you correctly you want the title of your page to be some else, so you can keep your url, short.
The way I normally do this is by add a tab on my document type called Navigation, on that tab I put, the umbracoNaviHide property, and a property called navigation title, by doing this the user can give the page a new name.
I think that you could do that way, and if the navigation title property is empty for the page, then you could make a fallback to the nodename,
This how I normally do it, hope this helps and I have understood your question correct,
To add to what Dennis has said - if you use a Master document type put this Navigation (I call it Meta) tab on that and then all your document types will have this property/ies - in the example below it has the alias pageTitle
Page Titles/ Names & SEO
Hello All,
I have been using Umbraco for a little while now.
Im titling each of my websites pages doing this:
<title> Company/ Site Name | @Umbraco.Field("pageName")</title>
I can change the names of the nodes which I have created in order to make longer titles for each page.
If i have a node called Home, and change it to Professional Services. I can still get to that page using /home. Why is this?
What is the best way using umbraco to create managable titles for SEO that can be set in the master layout page?
Hi James
What version of Umbraco are you using?
So you change the page name to "professional services" so it should be accssible using www.site.com/professional-services but you can also access that same page using the old name like www.site.com/home ?
Are there by any chance some redirects somewhere?

Hi Jan
I am using the version that automatically installs in visual studio 2013 which is 7.1.6.
Yes once i have created all my doc types and templates then the nodes say Home > Contact | Services
If i change Home to "random name" i can get to it using /random-name and /home
Very strange.
Im just looking for more lengthy titles on each of the pages withotu sacrificing the simple short node names.
Is there a standard way people use umbraco to do this?

You can have it fall back to the node name:
@Umbraco.Field("pageTitle", altFieldAlias: "pageName")is working on a reply...
