    Templates, Doc Types & Multiple layouts

    Hi

    I'm a bit stumped and hoping for some help! I've recently moved over to Umbraco after using Concrete 5 as my CMS of choice but I'm struggling with something that I thought would be simple.

    I would like to have a simple page where I can add multiple blocks of content, these content blocks would be "strongly typed" using document properties, for example;

    Block 1, 2 columns doc type has property Col1  & 2 Title (text) & Col1 & 2Text (RTE) 

    Block 2 has 3 columns

    Block 4 has 4 columns

    Block 5 has 2/3rds

    Block 6 has 1/2 & 1/2

    I'd then like to be able to create a new page and add the appropriate combination from the selection above - Block 3 followed by block 6 etc. In C5 it was straightforward - I created the document types / html and simply dropped them in the page populating the content as I went, but for the life of me I can't see a way to do this in Umbraco.

    Is this possible or do I need to build some kind of master document / xlst combo?

    Many thanks
