I'm working on a portfolio site where I want the following public site structure that organizes projects by categories:

/work/ -> Listing of all projects

/work/strategy/ -> Listing of strategy projects
/work/user-experience/ -> Listing of user experience projects
/work/development/ -> Listing of development projects

Then, projects would be structured as:

/work/project-name-a/
/work/project-name-d/
/work/project-name-c/
/work/project-name-e/ ...

My question is, what is the best field type to use to categorize projects? Should I use a Page with Multiple pages (PageArray)?

I guess my confusion is moving from WordPress categories/taxonomies to PW's use of pages. Any insight would be appreciated.

I just discovered the Template of selectable page(s) option in the Selectable Pages section, which allows me to use a different template for the categories within /work/. Brilliant!
