What's best way to add text to the category display?

I'm looking to set a page up along the lines of....

featured products -&gt;Module
search box &gt;Module
text - ??
category display - From main menu
more text
latest products &gt;Module

Should I just use a module to display the text or is there a better way of doing it?

Hi,

Why not using a category description ?

Otherwise, there is still the possibility to perform an override but I find it a little bit too much if you want to just add some text.

Thanks Jerome.
The text doesn't really relate to the categories so I've gone with a custom module &amp; that's working fine
