adjustment of Current Site menu (OSC Site)

I have an OSC site currently in development. It currently has a menu system that i would like to modify slightly. I'd like to be able to categorize one of the products by price, Weight and by Brand (in the menu). I'd like to be able to have an area for a brief description above each category page before getting into the products. Finally, I know it can be easily done in the admin area, but I'd like the 8 attributes of the products sets up as listed in the diagram, so i just copy the attributes of the one example and apply it to the rest. Also i need a way to cross sell the products from different categories. Need quick turn around time, and someone who is out to do a good job for reasonable fee only since our budget is small.
