WordPress for several microsites

    Hi

    I am developing a site dedicated to Soviet artists and was wondering the best approach to take with the structure of the site using WordPress 3.

    Currently I have set up static pages for each artist. The structure is as follows:

    Artist 1
    > Bio
    > Gallery
    > Gallery 1
    > Gallery 2
    > …
    > Articles
    > Article 1
    > Article 2
    > …
    > Exhibitions

    Artist 2
    same structure as Artist 1..

    There will be several artists on the site each with their own microsite. The static pages approach works ok but I would like to do it programmitcally as much as possible, perhaps using Custom Post Types.

    For example, the client would choose New Artist and then enter the bio and then choose New Gallery or New Article and associate it with the artist. I did attempt to go down this road but I wasn’t happy with the URL hierarchy as it was difficult to maintain which page belong to which parent.

    Any other approaches or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Cheers

  • If these are going to be microsites, would a network be the best option?

    Just a follow up to my question.

    I ended using custom post types and custom permalinks to organise the site structure.

    A helpful blog post on using a taxonomy in your permalink structure can be found here

    Cheers
