Sam1209 If you have created a list with columns like: Category and Description, you can use SharePoint REST API in script editor/content editor web part to get the description corresponding to category you get from URL.

https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('List Name')/items?$select=Category,Description&$filter=Category eq '<category-value-from-URL>'
