Hi Drew

Sorry, this is the first proper site I'm building in Runway so still getting used to not having any static pages and using master pages with routes, collections and so on.

The URL is just the page path currently, so if I created a route for-you/[slug:cat] would that work? Although in this case both the page path and route would be the same: /for-you/residential-property.

It's easy to do statically but I am trying to do it dynamically so the client can add further pages for different departments using just the one 'department' master page.

Is creating a page for this the best method? The main content is only appearing on this one page with the latest blog posts that relate to that department at the bottom, along with a 'staff profile' collection in a side column to display images of all the staff that work in that department (again filtered using the category?).

Many thanks as always

Glen
