[intro]Now you have created a shop with suitable Theme and strong Design Images, the next step is to plan out your navigation in the form of Categories and Webpages. [/intro]
| Navigation | A strong navigational structure will ensure a good customer experience, so you must correctly map out your Categories and Subcategories before you add any Products. |
| Adding Categories using the Shop Tab | In this Guide, you'll learn how to add Category Pages manually within the Shop tab. |
| Category Images | When you've created your Categories, the next step is to add identifying images to each. |
| Category Descriptions | Once you've added Category Images, Category Descriptions are your next step. |
| In Category Descriptions | Finally, you need to add In Category Descriptions to each of your Categories for both customers and search engines too. |
| How to add Categories & Subcategories to your EKM online shop | Before you begin, it's a good idea to organise your Navigational structure on paper beforehand so you know what Categories and Subcategories you need to create to best display your Products. |
| How to hide Categories | If you're still populating a Category, it can be useful to hide it until you've finished adding your Products. |
| Webpages for your EKM online shop | Webpages are essential for every shop - these Guides will show you what you need to create in accordance with the kind of Products that you sell. |
| How to order Products on a Category page | When you have added Products to the Category Page, depending on what they are, you may want to organise them into a specific order. |
| Category Management | When you have added Products, you can set them to display in more than one Category to increase exposure and encourage sales. |
| Featured Products | On some Themes, adding a single row of best-selling Products to encourage customers to click deeper into your shop is a good idea. |
