Volusion Changes

If you haven't already noticed, Volusion is making some changes. Exciting I know. One of these changes was to the product page. A page that is long over due for some upgrading if you ask me. The recent history section has had some changes, some good some not so good. One change is including product thumbnails, this was a great upgrade. But the another change was the placement of history off/on buttons. The new position next to the heading graphic can potentially cause some alignment issues for existing stores. If your heading graphic is too long then it will push content out of the frame. Causing your backhround graphic to repeat. When this issue was brought to "V's" attention. They decided that they were not going switch the buttons position back to the bottom. So check your product pages for anymore changes and for wonky alignment. There might be a new heading graphic in your future.

Keep It Simple Stupid...KISS!

As I sit here working on remodeling a site I did awhile ago, I am reminded of K.I.S.S. Sometimes simple and clean is the best way to go. Leave all the tricks and hype behind and create a clean design. One that speaks for itself and to the viewers. Well back to the drawing board and remember to KISS the designer.

Volusion & Mobil Combatiblity. Most of us are rocking cell phones with internet access. Which for you store owners mean more chances for people to shop. Well if you are worried what your new custom designed store front will look like on those little cell phone screens then worry no more. From my experience if your designer has done good job then your site will look great. It just requires a little more left to right scrolling. If thats an issue, you can also have your designer create a custom mobil version of your store front. Thanks to Volusion now supporting mobil sites. So take a look at your store on your phone and decide for yourself if you want a mobil template.
