PLAN YOUR SHOP
It is best to have a clear plan of your shop organisation of categories and products before starting.
Give some thought to the organisation from the perspective of your customers so they will find navigation and therefore find your products easily.
Categories can contain more categories (sub-categories) or products but not both.
Sub-categories can have more sub-categories and so on to create a category tree.
You will also need pictures of your products optimised for viewing on the internet - this means they need to have a small file size so they do not take up too much memory or take too long to load whilst still being of a quality good enough for viewing.
Image optimisation software is freely available.
From admin go to Catalog => Categories/Products
If you chose to include sample products when you installed PHOENIX you will see this.

Click on a product in the list and click Delete and repeat for each product - click Back and then click on the category in the list and then click Delete Repeat until all products and categories have been deleted.
