Best approach for structure

    I’m currently working on my first EE-sites with EE2 and MSM.
    Right now I have an issue I’m trying to figure out the best approach.

    1. There is going to be a section called “products”.
    2. Products have to be sorted by product-categories.
    3. A product-category has an overview of all the brands in that category.
    4. A brand shows an overview of all it’s products.


    So I would have a page “products” that shows a list of categories.
    A second page “brands” that would have a list of all brands within a single category.
    And a final page “detail” which lists all the products of a single brand in a single category.

    I was first thinking of using two channels:
      - brands
      - products
    with a relationship of brands into the products entry form.
    And using categories to split up the different products-categories.

    That would make it easy for the client to use only one entry-form to add a new product

    However, I’m not sure if I, for instance, list all brands that are used into one category?
    If It’s possible, how? If not, what would be a better strategy?

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this… 😊
