    I'm working on a website and am having difficulty deciding best practice/use of the structure of the site.

    Here is link to the site currently: http://littleharbor.wildspiritdesigns.com/

    My major dilemma is on the Windows and Doors links. I want sub navigation so people can go directly to their type of window (or door) if they know what they are looking for (I would do this by using pages and then setting a parent pages for the different styles windows and doors under parent page and setting menus up appropriately) BUT....

    I also want people to be able to click on "Windows" and be able to see a list of the child pages (ie different window styles) displayed on the main window page. I can to this with a blog page template however I am currently using that feature for "Recent Projects".

    Is there a best way to set this up so people can see the sub nav options AND also see a display of content (from the sub pages) on the main parent page?

    I'm not seeing a way to do BOTH at the moment...

    Thanks in advance!

    Can't you simply add menu links under each top level menu item?

    If your theme has restricted this, you can remove or modify the code.

    You can create a custom page template and create a new WP_Query if you wanted to display child pages in a loop.
