On the home page you and I would go with more text, but we could still use plenty of images on the home page and category pages. It's the product pages that are going to benefit the most by having text on them when it comes to seo. The home page and category pages are going to need links to rank.
Still even if your pages rank well and pull traffic, what's the point if the site can't convert visitor to buyer.

This leads to a question. My home page sucks as does the site in general. I want to redo it with wp in the root and other pages. The thing is, my home page (which I wrote before I even understood the product) ranks 2 on google. Few if any inbound links, so I'm assuming its because of subordinate product pages.
My idea for the home page was to put a "good product image" and a 50 word or so description of that product in the index page and link to a subordinate page which is a full product description. I might put the product buy page in an iframe on that page.
I'd do this for my biggest money makers. Probably 7 products.
The thing is, since the page ranks 2, manufacturer is 1; I'm afraid to touch it. It doesn't rate 2 from inbound links. I've done no link building on the site. Just checked, G shows no incoming links.
So, do I redo the page? In general, for the index page or the product pages, I think customers just pick up a phone and call me anyway. One of the best things I did on the site is to make my phone on the site in a very prominent way. Its a technical product and orders mostly need to be handled by phone.
