why are you organizing the items into pages? shouldn't that be done automatically when you output? I would store each item separately and use MySQL's LIMIT 11,20 syntax for pagination.

Also, categories are weak.... LAST WEEK! Use tags instead ;-)

Check out http://tigerdirect.com to see a catalog done properly.

Maybe you need to search for a catalog system that's already done for you... Anyone else have any suggestions?

tiger direct is cool but man it would take me a long time to do that without a shopping cart systeme.but i think i will do similar with all the product names on one site that you click on it for info..
