Pages, Forms, and Posts

So here’s something I’ve never really thought about in TXP. I’ve always designed blogs for other people with TXP, but now I’m attempting to create a pretty static site for a friend. They are running a non profit org and want a site to distribute information about the project. Since the content won’t change much I was wondering what is the best way to utilize TXP:

I plan to create a section for each part of the site (about, contact, faq, supporters, etc.), and then have one Page for the entire site. The Page would reference <txp:article /> and the main content of each portion of the site would be in a post associated to that section.

Would anyone recommend a better way of using TXP as a CMS for this person? Should I put the content in a form instead, since it’s not really an article but rather just static content?

I do it this way most of time as most sites I build are this type of site. If it were me I’d keep semi-static stuff in forms but for the end user I go with plain old articles.

So no, I can’t really recommend a better way as this is the best way in my opinion.
