• Hi there,

    I’m doing a website for a friend for his trailer business (riveting I know!), and was looking for some advice on how to build it out.

    Basically there are a few major types of trailers, then each main type has a few variations in size. So it’s something like:

    Single Axels:
    6×4
    8×4
    9×5

    Tandems:
    6×4
    8×4
    9×5

    So each variations would have its own product page. This would consist of a description, some headings and a few image galleries.

    All of the pages would have a very similar structure, as they’re basically the same thing, just with different heading and pictures. I’ve made a quick and ugly wireframe to illustrate more clearly what I mean: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6my6r6vgkdb5h33/Screen%20Shot%202013-09-24%20at%203.09.29%20AM.png

    I’m just unsure of the best way to build this out. My first instinct (Which I think may be wrong), was to create a custom post type, say for Single Axels, and attach all the various custom fields needed. Then there would be a post for each variation (6×4, 8×4 etc). Now i’m just a bit confused as to how I display these posts as their own seperate page?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance,

    Jack

  • I think I would arrange the categories first by size, then show the single- or double-axle options just like someone would look for a large pickup truck and then decide the possibility of dualies on the rear. And after registering a domain yesterday and beginning on a site for a manufacturer or septic tanks, I commend you for putting much thought into this matter. When I go to a site that seems to assume I should already know my way around in its poorly-menued product lines, I leave. Also, be sure to add some descriptors like “Cargo Trailer”, “Utility Trailer”, “Flat-bed” and so on even above size if those varieties are available.
