    Just a quick ‘how would you approach this’ question -

    I am working on a companies ‘Contact Us’ page with a contact form and addresses for their different offices.

    They have two offices and each has an address and a phone and fax number.

    Now my first thought was a Global Variable as there is a limit on the number of ‘entries’

    BUT

    I couldn’t use another Global Variable inside them.

    Next I thought of an ‘Address Weblog’ but as I said there is a limit on the number of entries and the client might get confused if they publish another or think that is how they edit. But it does allow full editing plus the inclusion of global variables for phone/fax numbers.

    Lastly I could create a template with the information which would also allow me to use global variables too but the client won’t have access to them if they need updating.

    Now with things like addresses etc do you just ask the client to let you update them or do you let them control every aspect of the site?
