Hey hey! I am trying to create a project archive for an architectural hardware company that supplies door hardware for projects. I am using SEOPress Pro, Beaver Themer, ACF Pro, FacetWP and CPT UI.
This is what a project should show:
Name of Project:
Description of Project:
Category of Project: (Residential/ Commercial/ Government/ Overseas/ Others)
Year of Completion:
Brand(s) Used:
Pictures:
I would like for users to filter projects (using FacetWP) by Category, Year of Completion and Brand(s) Used.
But the problem is, there are ongoing projects where there isn’t a Year of Completion yet and instead would need to display “Ongoing Project” or “Project still in progress” (something alone these lines).
I would want this to be as user-friendly as possible. When the project is completed, they can easily update the Year of Completion themselves. This is because I would want to display newer or featured projects on the homepage based on Year of Completion.
Another thing is, I need Category of Project to be in the url for example:
example[dot]com/project-references/category-of-project/name-of-project
I am familiar about a plugin called Custom Post Type Permalinks but am hoping to use as few plugins as possible because this company has 100+ projects to display.
Also, what are the best practices for what I’m trying to achieve from an SEO perspective? Please advise…
I hope the pros here can point me in the right direction 🙂 Thanks in advance!
