Barb,
How you place them on the page is going to depend entirely on how you want the page to look. You can look at my pages - or Sania's pages on a couple of her sites - and you'll see completely different ways of doing them.

I don't use tables to do mine - but that's a possibility also.

Oh, you could look at Chris's two sites, also for other ideas on product pages using CM or similar carts.
