How often will this information change? Are there a lot of options in
each of the 18-20 sub-categories? Once you drill down to the final
level, how much information will be displayed?
My initial thought is that all of this could be a single page with a
JavaScript to hide most of it and reveal only the part you want to
show based on the choices.
I built something meant to mimic the Mac Finder in Columns view quite
a while back, you might want to look at that and see if it gives you
any ideas. You could lay it all out on a single page in Freeway
(inline layout, so things can collapse) and then the script would just
hide things and reveal them.

When this test page loads, it shows the complete set of options
expanded. When you click on the gray bar, it hides everything and
shows the behavior. Your page would skip that first part, and would
load with everything hidden.

Hi David,
Yes you have got it right. The ultimate outcome will be to narrow
down the selection of products based on the area and category they
choose.
The website is to be a directory site of ball-related products and
services (prom- related) for teenagers in New Zealand. (The end of
year prom/dance/formal/ball that senior high school students have).
There are 16 main areas in New Zealand so first they will choose
their location (1 of 16 options) and then they will choose what they
are interested in finding such as ball gowns, limousine hire,
hairdressers, etc. I have 18 options in this category but I imagine
this figure might grow to include a couple more in the future.
Hope this is easy enough to understand.
Kind Regards
Amanda
