I need to style the product categories as custom landing-pages.

So far it's been going very well - I can do what I want: on top of the category listing!
But what if  (and that's the case) I want a picture, boxes etc. on the right of my (category or product) listing and some things below?

Where can I learn about the rules?

using J 3.6/ VM 3.0.17.2, Warp Framework, UIKit.

standard Joomla way is to publish modules in these positions -- I understand that that could lead to a lot of modules if individual to the cats and u have a lot of cats

Otherwise it is just templating within the default category template and getting the data stored/accessed

without going down the route of adding extra fields you could do something like break up the description with a "joiner" and explode this in the template to an array etc
It depends how complex you want to get and the scale of your shop
