Good category pages - do you have examples?

[DavidLenehan]

Hello all.

Currently doing a major update to my e-commerce website which sells tractor spare parts.

I would like to optimize the category pages, which feature the parts from a particular manufacture of tractor parts. Does anyone have good examples of well optimized product page which do not have a detrimental effect on the visual quality of the site?  It is important to see the products.

The best I have found is:

but I sure a better solution must exist

Thanks

The following might give you some inspiration from a design perspective.

Give some thought to the number of products on the page and if they are spread across multiple pages follow this advice on pagination best practice:

thanks for the response. not sure about the smileycat link. They all look good but none of the category pages have text on them for optimization.
