New free category landing pages!

It’s known that category landing pages are a great tool to promote your catalog, run promotions, and provide direct access to specific sub categories and products that yield a good ROI.

Magento is very well prepared for category landing pages and Ultimento 1.6 fully leverages this functionality! We’re really excited to introduce 2 category landing page templates that you can use on your Magento store to boost your sales and conversion rates! Not to mention many of the SEO benefits .

Two column category landing page:

The 2-column category landing page template is ideal if you want to keep the layered navigation and the other items on the left column. Here’s what it looks like:

One column category landing page:

We also wanted to include a 1-column category landing page with a completely different design and layout. Take a look:

Features:

The category landing pages include:

• Featured product area
  • JavaScript powered (no page reload when switching between these sub categories)
  • Nice fade-in / fade-out effects
  • Easily extendable to any number of categories (currently setup with 3 sub categories)
• Unique design templates
• CSS3 powered – yet fully cross browser compatible
• Search engine optimized
• Developed for speed!
• Versatile and very easy to customize
• As always – 100% open source

I’m sold! How do I use them on my Magento store?

In the latest Ultimento 1.6 these 2 category landing pages get automatically added to your Magento admin back-end via Ultimento’s 1-click auto-installer! Using them is then just a matter of following the quick steps to enable Ultimento’s category landing pages.

If you’re running a previous version of Ultimento, you can still use the new category landing pages . Just check out this section of the post.
