My client would like to have the "node/x" removed from the site URLs -- e.g., not "www/clientsite/node/1", but "www.clientsite.com/about"

How to do this?

"Clean URLs" are already enabled.

Thanks for any help you can give,

Max

Hello,

There is a core module called Path that enables you to do just that.

You should first check that this module is enabled (Site building > Modules).
Once you have done this, Drupal will allow you to enter an Alias for each new content that you create; the Alias is then used as the page's name in order to build the URL.

Path is enabled and I can enter an alias, however certain pages still show in the sitemap with the node number and the alias url.

As Frederique said you need to use the "Path" module to define URL aliases.

The "Pathauo" module comes in very handy for this as well as it allows the site to generate these URL Aliases automatically when a node is created or retroactively.
