    The easy way would be edit your

    templates/(Current Templete)/main_page.tpl.php

    Setup the Categories you want and setup the hyperlinks

    Done,

    sorry to be a bit naive about this but could you give me an example of how to set the category and subcategory links to at least get me started.
    thankyou

    After looking at your site the 1st thing you need to do in your admin section under Catalog click Categories / Products. Then click add New Category. Once you create that double click the category, inside there click New Products.

    Let me know if thats what you are looking for....

    How about explaining more clearly what exactly you want to achieve.

    From your initial post, and the referenced websites, I cannot see anything special about them that points me to what you want to do.

    Thanks - i think i've managed to answer my own question through taking the time to search the forum so i won't be too hasty in future about posting requests - i realised about the DHTML & Cool Menu options but now i have started to play with it i'm not sure what the difference between DHTML and Cool Menu is ?

    thanks for showing such patience with a newbie
