Having thumbnails of images representing categories on my current site make it easy to "scan" categories via images, as opposed to "reading" categories via text. I get complements on this ease-of-use feature. I notice that BV5 has no built-in content block for category grid sim. to product grid. Is there a chance it's coming back in SP2????


Maybe make some dummy products to place in the product grid that redirect shoppers internally to a specific category???



I've been away from VS/VWB for a long time and it'll be a chore to shake the dust off. Before I build this myself, what's the word??? Yay, or Nay. Got a store to build...

Home page, front and center. No sub cats... I like getting a shopper to an "Add to cart" button in two clicks. click Category > click product.

Maybe sorted. I'm able to build a custom page with a category grid and plaster that in cols 2+3 on the home page. Also, I've altered the headermenu to accept 2 rows of six icons containing small pic and text. Looks a little cluttered but maybe that will do the trick.

I've found a few ways to accomplish this goal. Thanks.

You could always use multiple Category Rotators (containing 1 category each) and style them to they form a grid rather than stack vertically.
