I'm building an Airtable base for my Nintendo gaming website, which focuses on Tomodachi Life and Nintendo 3DS content.

I'd like to organize:

  • Game guides
  • Characters & personalities
  • Articles
  • News
  • SEO keywords
  • Publishing status
  • Content ideas

I'm wondering what the best database structure would be. Should I keep everything in one table with linked records, or create separate tables for games, articles, keywords, and categories?

If you've used Airtable to manage a gaming website or content project, I'd love to see how you've structured your base.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Generally speaking, the best structure is to keep as much as possible in one base, with separate tables for each type of data object. Then use linked records between tables to connect data objects.

When I say data object, I basically mean a piece of information that needs to contain more information within it. So sometimes something might be better as a field when you only need some information about it and sometimes it should be it’s own table. As an example, consider a phone number. If all you need is the phone number, it’s a field within a table. If you need to express that the phone number is cell or landline, it becomes a data object and might be it’s own table.

It might be worth checking out some of Airtable’s templates for inspiration, stuff like the Content Calendar or Content Studio templates.

Just off the top of my head, I would probably have a table for games, a table for articles/content ideas, but SEO keywords would probably be a field in the article table.
