Hello there. First off, thanks for taking some time to give me a help. 

My question is: I have to create a panel to show messages to the users in an Apex Page. Creating the panel itself is quite easy. I know I need a Custom Field to store the messages (and the respective tranlations). However I wonder what's the best object to use in order to store this kind of information?

Or maybe the best thing to do is to create a new Custom Object instead. 

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Matt.
