Hi -

I'm getting ready to start organizing product definitions within ZC. I've read a few of the threads and tutorials, but have some questions:

Everything on my site will fall into one of two categories (glass and jewelry). Within each category, there will be a further breakdown (in glass, it might be vase, plate, glassware, etc. and in jewelry, it might be brooch, necklace, ring, etc.) Is this the correct use of subcategories?

From my understanding of types, I believe that everything we offer will be of the same type. Any disagreement on this?

Now, for the tricky part. We would like to be able to offer additional information for the products, such as color, designer, and the like. What would be ideal is if customers could search based on this criteria. Would this be a good application of readonly options, or is there a better way to implement this?

Thanks.
