I want to show the categories on a landing page and not use the category menus, so create a single menu item called "shop" on the main menu that shows all the categories on a page.

Something like the ManufacturersAll page: http://localhost:xxxx/Catalog/ManufacturerAll

I know this is a simple task but can't see a post on it anywhere.

Is it just a case of creating a model and view similar to the ManufacturersAll page ?
