I am looking to create a solution for my client for their numerous products and variations. The setup is nothing new but I can't seem to find any insight on the best way to go about making this as easy as possible for the client.
They want to create a page like this: http://www.aishealth.com/Products/dhp.html
Things to note about the page: anchor links on the left linking to different portions of the page, buy it now options throughout the page (all linking to the same thing), repeated content throughout the page, etc.
Currently, they are hand coding those pages and have contracted me to not only completely redesign the site but also to find an easier way for them to generate these pages. The previous contractor made it overly automated so that they couldn't customize each product. They aren't scared to do a little thinking for these product pages because they realize that almost all of them have different sections and formats, etc.
I was thinking (as was the previous contractor) that I could just create certain CCK fields and then theme them up. Well, that's not going to work because each product page will have different fields. I was also thinking that I could create TONS of cck fields and just hide the ones that aren't used.
This is one of those issues that there are SO many ways I could do it but I wanted to stop here first to see if I could get some insight from some of you. I appreciate it. Thanks!
