woocommerce layout styles

hi all — trying to understand how woocommerce decides to create different pages.

example 1
a product-category page shows all items in that category, in a nicely styled three-column layout.
example 2
a page with a shortcode for that product category — <product_category category=”first-friday” per_page=”12″ columns=”3″ order=”asc”> — doesn’t have the same styling with the nice rounded corners on the image, etc.

Also, the shortcode version allows for pagination with a plugin, but the product-category page shows all products and i haven’t been able to find a way to paginate that kind of page.

i would like my shortcode version to display images in the *span class=”rounded”* version that the product-category page uses, OR, i would like the product-category page to be paginated so that the site is not loading 100 images for every visitor when we have a timed sale event.

any help much appreciated
??
