Displaying products by type AND brand name

[stualk]

Does anyone know how best to display products by type AND by product brand? For example, I need my navigation to list the product types available down the left (e.g. Cushions, Towels etc) and then have a link to 'brands' in the top navigation. The brands link would then display the brands in the product database rather than the product types.

Is this possible?

Achieving this is dependent on your theme but essentially you would create the sections by type and create a new top level section called "brands" .. into this create sub-sections for each of the brands and paste duplicates in accordingly.

You can then link to the "brands.html" page in the top navigation (or anywhere on the page)

Is there a theme you would recommend using for a site of this type?

Hi Stuart,

I would suggest using the 'Smart' theme to do this. This is however just a suggestion, you ultimately need to decide the look and feel of the site and a play around with applying various theme's will help you with it.

Kind regards,
