    I’ve read through a few posts in these forums now and haven’t come up with anything, so I figured I’d make a new thread.

    What I’m trying to do is build a site with a static section that goes something like this (adapted from this thread):

    Home
    About Washington
    —-The Washington Community
    —-What Makes Us Different
    —-Washington Looking Ahead
    Our Programs
    —-Independent Living
      ———The Jackson Building
      ———The Smith Building
    —-Long Term Care
    —-Assisted Living
    Educational Links
    Give to the Washington Foundation

    Using channels it’s quite easy to create two tiers of static content. That is, it’s easy to do “Our programs” and then “Independant Living” but I can’t figure out how to easily add the “The Jackson Building” section in there as well.

    Any tips on how best to go about this?   

    Thanks

    P.S I’ve looked at Structure, but this is going to be a very large multi-site project and it won’t be feasible. I also like the idea of using channels, as the user can click “Publish > Program” and add a program, rather than adding a generic page.

    This was accidentally posted in the wrong forum. If someone could move it to “General Discussion” I’d appreciate it. Sorry about that.

    I had to have a similar structure for a recent project and I just went ahead and used Structure. It’s $65 but I’m pretty sure that the time it saved me from having to figure this out myself was worth more than $65. I usually try as much as possible to work with EE out of the box, but when some plugins can save you time (money) I just go ahead and use them.
