One of our US based client asked
us to redesign their ecommerce portal. This portal deals with different kinds and
well-known brands of apparel, accessories and related products for men and
women. A simple redesign on Volusion required few hours of work and efforts and
what was finally on the internet platform was an exclusive ecommerce store. Our
designer team categorized and sub-categorized products based on client’s
business requirements.With an intuitive and dynamic theme layout, simplified
navigation structure, well-organized integration of shipment, payment and other
channels, the portal finally hit the virtual platform.
After a couple of days, delighted
with the kind of response received, our client again approached with new
requirements.
What was asked and what was achieved?
Header - Drop-Down Menu
Client asked us to integrate a drop down on
header where menu is displayed. It was not a simple drop down but meant to be
meaningful and attractive. In other words, our designers had to custom design
the entire menu whereby every menu item was categorized according to products.
This allowed easy accessibility to respective product categories.
The screenshot above describes
about “Home” menu.
- Mouse
over “Home” and find “Categories”, “Featured Brands” and “Featured Product” on
the drop-down
- If “Categories” are targeting links on products
on website, “Featured Brands” provide an insight on products related to
particular brands
- “Featured Product” is something unique created, based
on the requirement and received maximum views from visitors.This part stands
out due to image and catchy content integration on drop down
All the other
items in menu were custom designed according to respective category requirements.
Footer
The second part on the website that was custom designed was footer.
Volusion provides footer according to theme installed, however; our designer team
modified the entire part by providing menu content on the bottom. The advantage
of using a broad footer is to provide complete overview of estore. Uniformity was
maintained on the whole site; theme was customized in the following manner:-
- Categories: Browse
for products or promotional schemes. It was forwarded by client keeping in view
the most searched products and other links on the website.
- Browse brands: Categorize
products with respective brands with targeted links.
- Customer
Service: Get in touch with website owner through different mediums like live
chat, About Us or read their knowledge base – shipping, returns etc.
ASI Logo on Footer
As asked by client, we integrated logo – ASI, a mark of genuineness alongside “Volusion” SSL symbol. This was highlighted on footer along with social media
and payment gateway icons.
These are just few changes done
on the portal and was required by client. Keep track on this blog and read more
next month….
