Should I use a portfolio or blog or shop template?

Hi guys, I’m in the process right now making a product aggregation site similar to thisiswhyimbroke.com

I want to use X theme, but i’m not sure what sort of backend structure I should give the site.

There will be no sales made directly on the site, the revenue model will be solely based on affiliate income. I want to be able to share the price and a bit of content (50 words or so) beneath each featured product on the homepage. It also needs to be easily categorised and able to implement infinite scrolling.

What is the best plan of attack for this type of site?

Hey @DKMGAU,

It would be best to use create a Custom Post Type that is similar to the default WordPress Post Type to hold data for your “product/affiliate” items and use Essential Grid to display them.

Essential Grid also has an Infinite Scroll feature. For more details, please see https://www.themepunch.com/essgrid-doc/columns-rows-pagination/

Hope that helps.
