In the previous chapter, you saw how you can organize content into categories and subcategories. By creating categories, you tell Joomla how to group things. However, you will also want to present category content on the website in one way or another. That's where Joomla's category overview pages come in. They provide an intermediate level between the home page and content pages, presenting hyperlinks to category contents. They're a bit like second level home pages. Joomla has no name for these pages; we'll call them overview pages or just category pages.
Note
You saw some basic examples of Joomla's overview page when you created menu links for the Category Blog menu item type to display categories (see Displaying main categories and subcategories on your site in Chapter 5, Small Sites, Big Sites – Organizing Your Content Effectively). Now, we'll go beyond the basics and make category pages that exactly fit your (client's) needs.
