Wordpress Theme question

I am building a one page WordPress theme and wondered if I could get some feedback. I am trying to decide if it would be easier to have each section controlled by the options panel so the user just adds in the items in prebuilt sectional areas. (The theme is for a wedding page so there aren't a large number of options they would desire.) Or build it so that the sections are controlled completely by the page area and as they add pages to it they can choose certain templates and order them by post date etc. I think the latter would take more coding but would be more flexible just not sure it is needed.

Any feedback welcomed.

Steph

From what it sounds like, keeping the pages separate might prove easier for the clients to manage in the end.

I would agree that you put the sections into different pages. In this case maybe make a main homepage page and then the sections as child pages

I agree with both John and Zac. Put the sections into separate pages.

Hope it goes well for you Stephanie!
