As an experienced CMS website operation personnel of an AnQi company, I know the importance of the classification page in website structure and user experience. It is not only the aggregation point of content, but also the key for search engines to understand the theme of the website.Our company's AnQi CMS provides meticulous category page management and rich customization options, allowing us to accurately create each category page.

Precisely control the TDK of the category page

The TDK (Title, Description, Keywords) of the category page is the foundation of search engine optimization, which directly affects the display effect and ranking of the category page in search results.In Anqi CMS, we have high customization rights for each category's TDK, which allows us to tailor the most attractive meta-information according to the specific content and target keywords.

First, when adding or editing categories in the category management interface, we can find the special area for SEO settings.The category name is the default title of the page, but AnQi CMS provides a "SEO Title" field that allows us to enter an independent and more SEO-friendly title, such as one that includes core keywords or brand names to attract user clicks.We usually use this title to call in the templatetdkLabel, for example{% tdk with name="Title" siteName=true sep="-" %}of whichsiteName=trueThe option can intelligently append the website name to the title, andsep="-"which defines the separator between the title and the website name,showParent=trueIt can make the title include the upper category information, building a longer path title.

Secondly, regarding the page description (Description), the 'Category Overview' field plays an important role. If the 'SEO Title' is not set, the content of the category overview will also be used formeta descriptionLabel, it should concisely summarize the content under the category and include relevant keywords to improve click-through rate. Of course, we can also call it directly in the template.{% tdk with name="Description" %}To get the category description.

The setting of keywords (Keywords) is the last, although its weight in modern SEO has decreased, reasonable filling can still provide additional information. The category editing form of Anqi CMS provides an independent 'keywords' field, with multiple keywords separated by English commas,Comma, this conforms to the habits of search engines, which helps to better understand the theme of the page. In the template, we can use{% tdk with name="Keywords" %}Get these keywords. Through these refined settings, we can ensure that each category page can be presented in **status to search engines and users.

AnQiCMS category page diverse customization options

The Anqi CMS offers great flexibility in customizing category pages, far beyond TDK settings.These options are贯穿于content, template, URL structure and multiple levels, aiming to meet the needs of different business scenarios.

In terms of content and media display, in addition to the basic 'category name' and 'category introduction', we can also make use of the 'category content' field, through a rich-featured editor, to add detailed introduction text, mixed text and image information, and even embedded videos to the category page, greatly enriching the expression form of the page.In addition, AnQi CMS supports uploading "Banner image" and "thumbnail".“Banner image” allows uploading multiple images, usually used for the carousel display at the top of the category page, while the “thumbnail” provides a visual identifier when calling the category on other pages.These media elements are customized, making the category page no longer just a document list, but can become an independent page with rich visual and information-bearing power.

On the aspect of URL structure and SEO-friendliness, Anqi CMS provides the option of 'Custom URL'.By default, the category URL is automatically generated based on the category name.However, if we need a more concise and semantically meaningful URL, or to align with a specific SEO strategy, we can manually enter a custom English URL alias.This feature is closely integrated with the system's 'pseudo-static rules', which support{catname}Such a variable makes it possible for custom URLs to take effect, thereby generating clear, easy-to-remember, and search engine-friendly page addresses, which helps improve the ranking of category pages.

The template design is the key to achieving personalized layout of category pages. Anqi CMS not only provides the default of{分类模型}/list.htmlAs a category list page template, it also allows us to specify a "category template" for a specific category. For example, if we need a category page specifically for software downloads, we can create adownload.htmlTemplate, and specify its use in the editing interface of this category.Further, by selecting the option 'Apply to child categories', we can choose to inherit the custom template of the parent category to all its child categories, thereby quickly achieving a unified page style.In addition, to ensure that the document detail pages under the category also maintain a consistent style, Anqi CMS also provides the 'Document Template' option, allowing a unified detail page template to be specified for all documents under the category.AnQi CMS supports adaptive, code adaptation, and three independent site template types for PC and mobile, meeting the access needs of different terminals.

In data organization and management, each category must be associated with a "document model", and once selected, it cannot be changed, which ensures the consistency of the structure of the content under the category.By setting up the 'parent category', we can build a clear hierarchy, such as under 'Electronics' there can be subcategories like 'phones', 'computers', and so on.Moreover, we can also define 'custom fields' for the content model, which can also be called and displayed on the category page, for example, an 'area' category can be added with additional fields such as 'main industry' to make the information more complete.By adjusting the "display order", we can also control the arrangement of categories in the front-end list, ensuring that important categories are displayed first.

Overall, Anqi CMS provides website operators with a comprehensive set of tools from basic TDK settings to advanced template, content, and structure customization, enabling category pages to flexibly adapt to various business scenarios, meeting both the optimization needs of search engines and providing an excellent user experience.
