In the previous chapter, you've seen how you organize content with categories and subcategories. By creating categories, you tell Joomla how to group things. However, you will also want to present category contents 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've already seen some basic examples of Joomla's overview page when you created menu links of the Category Blog Menu Item Type to display categories (see the Displaying main categories and subcategories on your site section 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.
