  There are plenty of themes in the WordPress theme library which behave on the front page like the example you provided. However, they won’t behave that way on category archives pages. The closest thing to a readily constructed page with your specifications, that I’m aware of, would be a Display Posts shortcode with category, excerpts, featured images arguments added.

  But what kind of short codes can you show me ?

  Sorry, I meant to include a link to the Display Posts Shortcode support page.

  From that page,

  A common request is display a list of posts with title, excerpt, and the thumbnail aligned to the right. Here’s the shortcode you might use:

  [display-posts include_excerpt="true" image_size="thumbnail" wrapper="div"]

  [display-posts category="must-read" posts_per_page="-1" include_date="true" order="ASC" orderby="title"]

  This will list every post in the Must Read category, in alphabetical order, with the date appended to the end.

  Adding a category argument to the first example would give you the following code:

  [display-posts include_excerpt="true" image_size="thumbnail" category="whatevuh" wrapper="div"]
