Question 9

Accepted Answer

The core differences between a brochure website and a catalogue website lies in the fact that one is purely pages of content and the other has a catalogue.

The catalogue is a comprehensive and detailed list of products organised by top level categories which makes it easier for the customer to find the exact product they are looking for
