Using custom post types to give WordPress a more CMS-like look. What to prioritaize? Pages or Content?

Hi @janoChen:

Definitely #1. #2 will create a lot of complexity for the user.

To address the problems you’ve identified with #1 I would recommend removing the static content post types from the admin and isntead creating a custom admin page that allows the user to add static sections via AJAX with links to their edit pages.
