WordPress: Inner-Page Linking, Pages based on Categories

I'm trying to decide which method would be best for an internal linking structure that utilizes 4 main categories, and then pages w开发者_开发问答ithin those categories using WordPress.

At first I thought I could just use Posts as a method of determining whether or not content belonged within that category... but now I'm second guessing myself. The site structure is like this:

High-level nab:

Category 1

• Page 1
• Page 2
• Page 3
• Page 4

Category 2

• Page 1
• Page 2
• Page 3
• Page 4

Category 3

• etc

Category 4

• etc

Obviously, this is a custom theme. But before I start coding, I want to make sure that I'm storing, pulling and organizing the data properly.

What are you thoughts? Greatly appreciated!

Wordpress is actually designed to be a blog, not a pure CMS. If you do not use the blog function, I suggest trying another 'real' CMS (Joomla, Drupal, TYPO3, many many others).

But to answer your question, why did you reconsider ? It would make it easier to know why your are second guessing...

If you want to accomplish this with the given categories from wordpress, you can use a category to page plugin like this one here. But there are also some CMS plugins for WP that make wordpress to a proper cms and can help you grouping pages - see the plugin resource.
