I'm categorising my content using taxonomy and displaying the categories in a menu using the taxonomy-menu module. The way that the menu is being displayed is just what I want, but I'd like to change the way that the linked pages display.

When clicking on a categories menu link, is it possible/feasible to get the page to

Category name

Category description

Sub categories if any (at this level only, not any further down) with links

Category content if any (at this level only, not any further down) (stories, pages etc)

Is this something I could achieve with Views (which I've looked at but find very confusing)?

As an example the WebParts link (third level, below HR Portal, within the left hand menu) I'd like:

HR Portal (Term Title)

This is a description of the category (Term Description)

(Term Content - Stories, Pages etc)

HR WebParts - Overview

HR WebParts - Requirements
