Hi
I am new to Magento
Need big help in customizing category pages as my landing pages.
To begin with I can not control/add/modify magento normal style banners on top, left, bottom
Nor can I control/add widgets on left/right from the normal widget panel.
Do I have to CSS everything and everytime ? If yes, how do I switch it to normal style widget/banner control.
Thank you.

Hi caba,
This is a responsive theme with a special wall layout as seen at the demo, probably normal layout of left-right, right-left columns…etc would not work as expected, if you don’t want this special layout I think you should chose another normal theme
Thanks for the info Sherlock
So how do I add banners on category pages ?
Also, what if I wanted to remove products from the home page, just keeping it simple for branding?
Looking forward to your great help.

JM Products and choice Enable is No.

It really helped. I was able to add static image banners but what I should have asked on first stage is html banners. Is there a option to it too.

The reason is what if I want to add hyperlinks to the banner.
Also How do I control/modify/add the right side banners ?
Yes, the home page products did disappear from that. Thanks for the help.
Dear caba,

please open file app\design\frontend\base\defaulttemplate\catalog\ category\view.phtml and add hyperlinks in
Code:
