Enjoy Increased Performance by Becoming an Early Adopter of Site Designer
At Volusion, our mission is to provide our merchants with an ecommerce platform that meets their needs and evolves with the industry. That’s why we’re excited to be bringing Site Designer—our new and enhanced store building feature—to you.
What is Site Designer?
Site Designer is Volusion’s answer to the growing customization needs of ecommerce store owners.
Powered by Volusion’s innovative Element technology, this site builder allows you to easily create and update your storefront design, as well as add functionality and third-party integrations, with just a few clicks rather than having to write code.
Make updates or changes to your store by adding or removing “blocks” of pre-built code for site components such as product review displays, integrated blogs, announcement bars, and much more.
You can use Site Designer blocks to:
doneChange colors and fonts, rearrange page layouts, update footer links, and more
doneMake each page unique with drag & drop content blocks for social media, image galleries, videos, testimonials, and more
doneSelect ready-to-use blocks from our library
doneEasily reuse blocks across multiple pages or domains for consistency
doneCreate custom pages to suit the specific content needs of your business
Why should I adopt Site Designer?
In addition to simplifying your site update and customization experience moving forward, upgrading to Site Designer places your store at the forefront of ecommerce tech. This is beneficial in several ways:
Speed
The backend tech Site Designer employs (server-side rendering, automated image optimization, and more) makes your sites load faster, decreasing bounce rates.
Flexibility
Site Designer’s block-based architecture allows you to customize your store by selecting from our gallery of regularly updated blocks.
Ease-of-use
Site Designer is easy to master, so you’ll enjoy less ramp-up time. Effortlessly preview staged updates exactly as they'll appear before pushing them live.
