Categories Concept
What are the Categories?
The categories are different classifications in which the content of a website can be cataloged or located based on the data or theme that it addresses. It is something that can be part of a hierarchy of contents or of the structure of a page and that, in general, usually has an important connection with what is known as tags, especially within the scope of WordPress.
It is a concept that takes on special importance when establishing the structure of a web page and, therefore, determining how the user will navigate within it. Without the categories, a structuring by themes or sections could not be carried out different in an appropriate way, nor could subsections or content be added to these at the time of increasing their general content.
The concept of categories is something that has been coined within the web for a long time, but whose importance has never ceased to be great when offering a good content structure. Without these, the distribution would be more complicated or, even, it would be done in chronological order, something that would prevent the user from making queries by topic and, therefore, would prevent a more complete and comfortable user experience.
What are the Categories for
The categories serve to determine a suitable order within the structure of a web page. Playing with them is essential to be able to separate everything that is published based on the theme it addresses, which in turn leads to the user being able to consult the content in the same way. It is something that is registered within the web tree and that is verified first-hand when browsing, so it is vital in the field of development and design not only of the page, but also of everything that is published on it.
The categories serve to sort and, within that order, take advantage of the hierarchy of the structure of a page in order to provide a comfortable and fluid navigation.
Examples of Categories
As examples of categories we can look at the blog section from the website of our agency, NeoAttack. On the right side there is a column with five rows, to be listed below: marketing dictionary, tips and tricks, tutorials, lists and tools, news and events.
Those five are the categories in which all the content of our blog is distributed, so that any visitor can have direct access to them if they have a special interest in any of the aspects they cover.
