custom post types - How to approach a site where it has sub-businesses, each with its own pages ("articles", &

The structure would be something like this.

Main site

• About Us
• Our Staff
  • Person A
  • Person B, etc
• Catering Service
  • About Catering Service
  • Staff of Catering
    • Person 1
    • Person 2, etc
  • Articles of Catering
    • Article 1, etc
• Wedding Service
  • About Wedding Service
  • Staff of Wedding Service
  • and so on...

What would be the best way to approach this kind of site?

I was thinking of making each subsites (catering, wedding, etc) as custom post types. The CPTs would be: "Main Site", "Catering Service", "Wedding Service", etc.

Then each CPT has their own taxonomy which would be: "About", "Staff", and "Articles". It would be then easy (there is a solution in other question) to set the permalink to be something like:

/

(e.g.) /

Initially it seems sound. However I'm not sure if this approach is the best solution. It's kinda hackish.

I prefer not using multisite.

Any tips or something that I should consider before moving forward?

Logic suggests that:

• "Services" is taxonomy.
• "Catering" and "Wedding" are parent terms.
• "Staff" and "Articles" are child terms.
• "About Parent Term", "Person N" and "Article N" are either CPTs, posts or pages.
• "About Us", "Our Staff" and other accessories are the set of hierarchical pages or whatever.
