Volusion Design for Digital Entertainment Product eStore

Volusion has readily captured the eyes of business owners. The main goal is to achieve good revenue from online sales. One of the Australia based client desired an ecommerce portal that could allow buyers to buy digital entertainment products. A simple, agile and dynamic theme was used on the portal and accordingly products were categorised and sub-categorised. The navigation structure is easy to understand, and makes it easy for buyers to select the desired product. Here are few advantages which I feel, has ensured success of Volusion on virtual platform.

Why should I change MY Ecommerce Platform?


Last few years have seen dramatic changes on the internet platform. Websites have become more flexible and intuitive and web traffic is increasing at a faster pace. Changes in online business requirements and demand for attractive and useful portals have induced many to select a framework that is not only attractive but gives higher ROI.

Elaborated below are few factors which, I believe, could help understand the idea behind changing the existing ecommerce platform:-


  1. Cost: Online business is growing in competition. Understanding the way estores are increasing on the virtual platform, it has become necessary for portal owners to look for framework which can help integrate requirements affordably. Hosting costs and other miscellaneous costs involving commission, payment gateway and merchant account charges need to be curbed and thus, opting for an alternative solution is necessary.
  2. Mobile-centric: We are living in an era where it is difficult to stay without mobile. Website or portal has to be optimized accordingly. In other words, integrating a mobile based ecommerce theme on the portal is necessary to encourage more traffic.
  3. Enhanced User Experience: A customer stays on the website for deals which are appropriately presented and displayed on the website. Improved user experience is possible where different features are integrated on the portal to make website user-friendly and intuitive. Well-organized navigation structure, attractive images, effective check-out process, dynamic landing pages can ensure faster invasion of customers.
  4. Visibility on Internet: Changing to a new, more intuitive, flexible and user-friendly ecommerce platform will improve estore owner’s market potential. In other words, there is likelihood of improved traffic with faster lead conversions and subsequent rise in sales and revenue when SEO-friendly features are accommodated on the website or portal.
  5. More Advanced Capabilities: Estore owners are hunting for possibilities to integrate more advanced capabilities (ERP or CRM) which can make system flow more agile and seamless.
  6. Payment & Shipment Gateways: Payment and shipment gateways are adding up on the virtual platform every other month. Estore owners are always looking for new payment gateways, credit verification, shipping channels to optimize costs and operations. If existing ecommerce framework does not provide that, they have to explore better and more organized alternatives.

There are ecommerce platforms like Volusion and Bigcommerce which offer intuitive and attractive templates for redesigning portals as per business requirements. With plethora of themes, built-in features and advanced capabilities for payment, shipment, ERP integration and more, these new age platforms can ensure high ROI (if you haven’t opted for one).

Volusion Store Design and Customization for ShopElitePromo.com – Part 2

As revealed in the previous blog, Volusion store of US based client was redesigned and customized according to business requirements. Client deals in apparel, accessories and other products and wished to have a portal that provides more information on product categories and sub-categories. Listed below are few more custom features accommodated on the website:-

What was asked and what was achieved?
  1. Client asked us to incorporate a section at bottom of the page(s) to showcase brand logos. Each logo is targeting that brand-based page and displays the products accordingly.

  2. Product category and sub-category pages on the portal were redesigned on custom theme. Let’s take an example,
    • Home >> Apparel >> Polo Shirts
    • Based on the product, the page is divided in four parts. Our Volusion designers’ custom theme designed the page(s) with a new background color, customized drop downs and text boxes, changed button size, provided mouse over effects on tabs and provided table borders.
