i have to implement a screendesign where i have a few pages and every page is seperated into sections (divs) with different content types (slideshow, 3 cols, 2 cols, headline, text, newsletter signup ...). a good example for this is http://get.wunderkit.com/
every page should be like an "generic" template where the content editors can add different page sections.
how do you design this in umbraco? normally i have doctypes for "complete" pages, but in this case this makes no sense.
my first idea was to make a doctype "page" and as allowed child doctypes i make own doctypes for each content type i do implement.
so my a typical page would look something like:
PAGE - Headline - Text - Subheadline - Slideshow - 3 Cols - Newsletter - 2 Cols - Text
I can write a razor script that i insert on PAGE which queries all child nodes an then displays the content of the child nodes depending on the doctype of the child node
i don't know if this is an good idea depending on speed and caching?
