How many products is too many to list on one page? I want to sell t shirts and I have them listed by categories. Some categories may have 50 different items. This seems like a lot to put on one page, what else can I do?
Thanks

I would set it up to have maybe 10 per page, and then give your customers the option of seeing more items per page using a drop down selection. You'll need some scripting for that.

I usually find 10-15 works the best, depending on the layout of the page, the number of products in a category, and the size of the product images and text.

The best answer I can give you is to experiment with it...try 10 one week, 20 the next, and so on and so on...then see how your sales are each week.

I would say no more than 10 items per page or the page gets too long and the user will get bored have to scroll half a mile down your page so I would say keep it short and simple. That my opinion.

Thanks,
Michael

I would say 5 - 10 is better as everyone say above.
To click "next" so many times, also you'll be tired.

I guess I would also need an internal search bar. I have seen google's and a number of others Can I design an internal search bar or would I be better off using google's version or someone elses for that matter.

Thanks again,
Kevin

I am working on a E Commerce site with around 1000 items in 15 categories, and we went with "Landing Pages". These are category pages linked from the main page. They act as a hub, and very often if carefully developed will get indexed on their own merits and act like "mini store fronts". This help with the relevancy of your main page also, as we all know the more products you have there the harder it is to hit a decent relevancy % for the page. I used this process on my backgrounds/images site, and all of the "landing" pages are now indexed and getting a bunch of backlinks also on their own.
