Volusion Design - Volusion Theme Redesign for Category and Sub-category Pages

We had a project where a different layout was required in each of the category and sub-category page for an ecommerce portal. Volusion, as you are aware is an ecommerce technology with bunch of well-defined structure of links, that helps locate product quite easily.

One of our clients is engaged in dealing with repairs and service manuals. These manuals are serving as shop or DIY manuals for ATVs, UTVs, Motor Vehicles, water crafts, vans, SUVs, agricultural and industrial equipments. Since manuals of various brands are provided as per the requirements of customers or going by customer choice, it was important to categorize the guides carefully keeping in view the price, the brand, the model and most significantly the sale price.   

Our Volusion design experts prepared every single page according to the desired layout. This implied working on the inputs provided by the client for every single product so that customers can get product information in detail. Well, let's understand how we achieved the required look n' feel of the page.

  • Pages were categorized on the basis of type of vehicle, for instance, motor cycle, ATV, UTV etc.
  • These pages were then bifurcated on the basis of brands, for instance, Harley Davidson, Hyundai, Nissan etc.
  • The pages based on brands were also segregated on the basis of models
  • The content was provided by client so we didn't find any difficulty in arranging as per requirement
  • Precise presentation of content could be a great help for customers who wish to know more on any kind of manual
  • Video was also integrated to provide a demo or introduce the manual at length
  • Since it’s an ecommerce store, every small aspect was taken care right from the conceptualization stage


     The client received what was required; it was an effort par excellence. Need to know more on how to redesign Volusion pages and web, send in your requirements at info@elegantmicroweb.com

Volusion Development, Integration for Souvenir Portal

Volusion is much more than just changing themes or redesigning templates. Today, I’d like to share inputs of one of the projects where the client desired to have its ecommerce portal integrated with Volusion Development tools.
The project was forwarded by one of our Australian clients who desired features integration to allow customers purchase different products as per requirement and convenience in no matter of time and cost. This client  is a dealer in souvenirs that are either sourced from different merchants or manufactured in-house. Metallic products like fridge magnets, key rings, hat badges are offered to customers along with non-metallic items like tea towels, placemats etc. The client desired an ecommerce store where customer can easily add to cart the product(s) of interest. Payment and shipping arrangement integration were primary requirements here.
Our team of Volusion development experts sat down to prepare the best and most innovative website accommodating tools which can help client achieve what was desired. The first job was to select the design layout – a unique one which could match the theme idea of client. The second task was the implementation of navigation structure wherein product categories and sub-categories are well-defined and connected with each other. Customers get an idea of not only the product but its variants too. Next, PayPal gateway was required which could help customers make payment in respect of products purchased. Also, multiple other features, for instance, tax and shipping systems were accommodated on the portal so that everything goes hand in hand without any hassle or delay.

One of the additional features added on the client portal was the private accessibility for registered customers who can view and buy from a wide range of products. The admin could choose to provide this accessibility as per discretion. In other words, all the registered customers have limited accessibility for buying but selected few could opt from a wide range of products. Apart from integrating custom form component on the contact page, social media integration was done to make website more intuitive, responsive and accessible for everyone on the net.
This project went mobile! Our Volusion developers added mobile store design and development features to allow users to access website on their mobiles or tablets.
In case you wish to redesign your ecommerce portal, integrate Volusion ecommerce features or simply integrate Volusion Development tools on existing eStore, get in touch with us.
