Re: List of Plone content types

[David Bain <david bain alteroo com>]

To address your questions, though I'm sure there are others who may
have better answers.

You have the key concepts, content types and views.

The frontpage could either be a custom "view" on a standard page or
make use of a special system called "Collage" that composites content
together. One of the collage guys is on this list I believe (Jens), so
he will probably be happy to advocate for that approach.

I would suggest:

Collections (think smart searches)
Folders

Plone uses folders which can hold pages, that's how heirarchy is acheived.

No. This can probably acheived with different views/displays or using Collage.
