# Show visual category tiles for direct navigation

**Evidence grade: Tested.** Outside evidence supports it: a published experiment, or customer sites where verify_change found the change live long enough ago to count as kept.

Observed on 3 corpus sites. Page types: homepage.

## Why it works

Visual tiles for each product category let visitors click directly to what they came for, reducing navigation complexity and preventing overwhelm. By making categories immediately visible and clickable, the design guides visitors deeper into the site without requiring them to explore menus or hunt through options.

## Evidence
