How do I set up my products to display this way?

Hi all,
I have a few questions...

  1. How do I set my zen cart up so that products are displayed as such
    Men clothing on one page: Seperated by
    New Arrivals
    Jeans= 30,32,34,36,38
    T-shirts=small,medium,large,x-large, 1x,2x,3x
    Shorts=small,medium,large,x-large, 1x,2x,3x Hoddies=small,medium,large,x-large, 1x,2x,3x
    Clearance

Women clothing on one page: seperated by
New Arrivals
Dresses=small,medium,large,x-large, 1x,2x,3x
T-shirts=small,medium,large,x-large, 1x,2x,3x
Shorts=small,medium,large,x-large, 1x,2x,3x
Clearance

Accessories= One page
Jewelry
Handbags
Belts
Scarf
Sun Glasses
Clearance

I just setup my zen cart. I am a retail store owner I have input products put after putting them in I realized it was wrong. All my products currently go to new products for August which is ok for now because I will not let cusomers buy my products until August 31st.

There is a 3rd party module in the free software addons link above right called categories dressing that will allow category customization
Get it and read the instructions to determine what it will allow

Try to limit the number of customer clicks. Within three clicks, a customer should be looking at an add to cart button.

It's difficult with clothing, but you will need to look at it differently from brick and mortar. Most online folks are looking for a specific item versus browsing. They will browse after finding what they are looking for, but will leave without browsing if they don't easily see what they came looking for.

Using image swappers can allow you to show different colors of an item on one page versus a page for each color (or size). The Stock by Attributes add-on will help manage quantities and availability of that red 3X dress.

Remember when doing attributes (color, size, etc.) always use a please select option as the default and for display purposes only. This will force shoppers to make a choice or the order will not process.

Interestingly enough, I searched the Live Showcase to submit a sample of this, and none are doing it:no:. SO... Take a look at gomagnetic.com for an example of attributes on steroids.
