Wood options instead of decking boards

Originally we wanted paving laying but the prices were far too high, so then looked at composite decking but were put off because of the potential for scratching and damage. (It’s in a high traffic area) I think we will go with a wood deck, but aren’t really fans of traditional decking boards. Is there any other kind of wood planks/boards we could lay (after treating 2 or 3 times) instead of decking boards?

I've no experience with any decking boards but I quite like what I've seen and read about red cedar decking. (When I was thinking of doing up my garden.) Something like this https://www.silvatimber.co.uk/cedardeck-select-western-red-cedar-decking. Currently oos but it was somewhere in between the price of regular and composite decking boards.0
