What’s this? Here you’ll find 41 annotated “Category Page” design examples from Baymard’s UX benchmark of 63 major e-commerce sites. (Note: this is less than 1% of the full research catalog.)
Category Pages are typically used only for broad top-level categories that are so broad it doesn’t make sense to show users a product listing page. On mobile sites, these pages are particularly difficult to design, as the small mobile screen makes it difficult to simply scale down the desktop design and get good results, where users are provided with a decent overview of all the subcategories within the top-level category.
