# Category design help

 * Hi
 * I am trying to settle on the best way to develop my site taxonomies, have read
   a lot and searched for answers, but am confused on a general point
 * I am aware of Category, Tag and metadata structures and options but have this
   question.
 * Am I best to design a detailed Category approach, using parent child structure
   which would handle most / all of my filtering needs for page design:
 * For example:
 * Category 1 = Products – children = Brands
    Category 2 = Features – children =
   List of features Category 3 = Price Band – children = Specific Price Bands etc.
 * Or would I be better to leave Categories for 1 dimension – say Brands and use
   metadata to structure other dimensions?
 * I am just learning to code and am able to do simple loops. My intention is to
   be able to design page templates that allow me to filter or select certain products
   to be highlighted on a page. Which taxonomy approach would have advantages for
   this?
 * Thanks in advance
    P
