    looking for opinions on how to structure content.

    Hi first day kicking about with Umbraco. Was wondering if i could get some opinions on how to structure the following data. I am building a site for a design agency.

    The navigation would look something like

    Category ( Softdrinks )
    Client ( Pepsi, Coke )
    Project ( Pepsi Banner ad )

    Quite straight forward, 3 tables.

    Is this the kind of content that could be recreated using somekind of child master page relationship. Or am i better off creating my own control, Or would creating my own package be the best route.

    hmm, so many options.

    I would handle it this way :

    Create the following documenttypes :
    -Category : holds the information about the category
    -- Client : is a child documenttype of category
    ---- Project : is a child documenttype of Client.

    For all 3 documenttypes I would have a template.
    In these templates I would display the title and body field of the documenttype. I would also use a macro to list the children of the document. For example on the category documenttype I would use a macro to list all Clients.
