I have some sections of my site that will contain hundreds of pages, mostly things that are similar to news items. Should I make a new node for each one in the Content area? That seems rather unwieldy.
How do Umbraco developers usually handle this? Or is Umbraco designed for small sites only?
You can do it with nodes or create a custom table and handle them that way, I recently created a Triathlon site which has over a 1000 of nodes - And help manage them I use this fantastic package.
Slightly customised it, but it would work out the box and is pretty fast. I'm not sure how you can ask if its only designed for small sites, Umbraco powers Wired, GQ, the asp.net site?
Apart from the content maintenance package I also think you can structure the news articles a bit using the Datefolder package so nodes are structured by year/month/day.

Excellent. Thanks. I haven't used CMS systems much, which is probably already obvious from my question.
No worries, please can you mark my response as the answer if it has resolved your questions - Thanks
