What is the difference between a solution and a category?

Kagi carries a wide variety of products from a number of different businesses. The wide variety of unique and innovative products and services offered through Kagi stores demand a new method of categorization.

The Solutions Directory lists businesses based on the goals their products may help you accomplish. For example, you decide you would like to build your own web site. You may want to brush up on your web design skills. Then, you may need software to design and publish your web site. And if you really want lots of people to visit your new web site, you may decide to subscribe to a marketing or advertising service.

The Kagi Marketplace ties all of these products and services together under the solution "Author Web Sites." Each solution aims to bring together an array of differing products that may help you to achieve your goals.

More traditionally, The Category Directory lists products based on what they are rather than on what they do. Imagine, again, that you would like to build a web site. Books about web design would be in the "Books" category and software would be in the "Internet & Network" category.
