   I have a project for a client which so far had decided to do custom from the beginning. But after reading about wordpress custom post types and custom taxonomies I've been trying to figure out if I would be better of using it instead.

   What I want to know is if I have a custom type "Company" and create a custom taxonomy of "Companies" with terms like "Automotive", "Education", "Sports"... is it possible for each term to have a subterm so that finally I would end up with something like:

   -Automotive
   ---Car Parts
   ---Car Painters
   ---Dealeships
   ---etc...
   -Education
   ---Foreign languages
   ---Bookstores
   ---Tutors
   -Sports
   ---Gyms
   ---Spas
   ---Tennis clubs
   ---etc...

   And could I create an index page that displays all taxonomies and terms with links to each one, so for example when I click Gyms, it will show all the gyms (which each of them will be of a custom type "company")

   Can this be achieved with custom post types and taxonomies ? I know that many people are asking about the same questions I just haven't been able to find the answer.

   Note : I know there are ready-made templates and plugins for a business directory but I want to be able to make one myself so I can customize it any way I want. So without sounding bad, please don't point me to plugins and themes.

   Thank you for your time!

   Ok I've never heard of pod until now. Didn't have time to research it. Thanks for mentioning it, but my question still applies whether I can achieve what I want with wordpress or not.

   Thank you for your reply!
