Volusion ships 45 templates, with premium ones priced at 180 dollars. That is a small library by 2026 standards, and it explains why the design question on this platform is different from the design question on Shopify. You are not choosing between thousands of themes. You are usually deciding how far to customise one of a few dozen, or whether to commission something built from scratch on the platform’s template layer.
The stores that need this work are recognisable. A Volusion site built before mobile traffic dominated, patched a few times since, tends to show its age in ways that cost money quietly: a hero that pushes products below the fold on a phone, category pages that were never designed for the number of SKUs now in them, a checkout that works but asks for more than it needs. None of that reads as a design emergency, and all of it suppresses conversion.
The ten firms below all publish Volusion design work on their own sites. They divide roughly into United States agencies doing custom design at agency rates, Volusion focused services shops, and offshore template studios that will adapt or build a theme for considerably less. Which group you want depends on whether you are buying judgement or execution.

1Digital runs a dedicated Volusion store design page alongside its Volusion migration and SEO practices, offering V1 template customisation and V2 bespoke design as separately scoped services. The Philadelphia agency has been ecommerce only since 2012 with more than 50 specialists, and holds BigCommerce Elite, Shopify Plus and Google partner status.
Treating V1 and V2 as different jobs is the mark of a team that has actually worked on both. The two Volusion generations behave differently enough in their template layers that a quote which does not distinguish them is a quote built on an assumption. If your store predates the V2 platform, ask any designer this question first and use the answer to filter the shortlist.
ADX Media has been building websites since 1996 from Asheville, North Carolina with a second location in Fort Lauderdale, and states that its Volusion designers all work from the head office rather than being distributed. Its Volusion service covers custom design, conversion work, product population and feed or API work.
A single co located design team is a practical advantage on a customisation project. Volusion design work involves a lot of small iterative decisions about how a template behaves at different breakpoints, and those move faster when the people making them share a room. Thirty years of trading also means the firm was designing ecommerce sites when Volusion launched, which is unusual in a shrinking market.
21Thirteen Design is a boutique studio with offices in New York City and Boston, describing itself as a Volusion Premier Expert Partner agency and offering responsive mobile friendly template design alongside API and ERP programming.
The pairing of design and integration in one small studio is the useful part. Plenty of Volusion redesigns stall not on the visual work but on the moment someone realises the new product page needs data the current ERP connection does not pass. A studio that owns both sides avoids the handoff. One caveat: the Volusion page itself was last substantially updated in 2016, although the wider site is clearly current, so confirm the practice is still active before briefing.
Virtina, founded in 2012 with teams in West Chester, Pennsylvania and India, is ISO 9001:2015 certified and reports more than 2,500 projects. Its Volusion practice covers web design, custom services and API integration with third party applications.
Certification is not a design credential, but process maturity shows up in redesign projects in ways clients notice: written scope, defined revision rounds, documented handover. Volusion redesigns often expand mid project as the team discovers what the current template is silently doing, and a firm with a real change control process handles that better than one working from an email thread.
Web Ecommerce Pros has supported Volusion stores since the platform’s inception in 2006 and offers Volusion design work alongside custom coding, SEO, product data entry and maintenance, with design migration in and out of the platform.
This is the firm for a merchant who has made a deliberate decision to stay. Long tenure on a declining platform is a real differentiator, because the design constraints of Volusion’s template system are learned rather than documented, and a team that has been inside it for two decades will reach a good result faster than one discovering the limits on your budget. The listed Cheyenne address is a registered agent address rather than a confirmed operating office.
Zipline B2B Marketing works from Spokane with additional coverage in Seattle, Chicago, Portland and Boise, and builds custom Volusion themes that it describes as fully integrated and optimised for performance and search. Named clients include Anvil Coffee, Bodine Electric, Old World Christmas, Spokandy and Jays Wide Shoes.
The marketing led framing is a genuine differentiator here. A theme built by a firm that also runs the Google Shopping feed and the schema markup tends to arrive with structured data, product page hierarchy and feed compatible fields already handled, rather than as a visual deliverable that then needs retrofitting. Named clients you can look at make this one of the easier entries on the list to evaluate.
Samyak Online has been trading since 2004 and offers Volusion development, design, template customisation and turnkey shopping cart integration, including bespoke theme and template design and point of sale module work.
Twenty two years of continuous operation is a reasonable proxy for reliability in a category where a lot of providers are three years old or ten years dormant. This is offshore pricing for design work that is genuinely bespoke rather than template adaptation, which suits a merchant who knows what they want visually and needs someone to build it rather than to art direct it.
Qdexi Technology operates from New Delhi with contact offices in Houston and Melbourne, offering Volusion store development and design, custom website design, API integration and ongoing support.
The support wrapper is what to look at here. A Volusion redesign is not finished at launch: template edge cases surface over the following weeks, usually on product types nobody tested. A provider that treats post launch support as part of the engagement rather than as a new quote will save you the worst month of the project. Confirm what the support period covers and for how long before signing.
Meggnotec sells ready made Volusion templates, including its Creez and Volto themes, alongside custom theme development and customisation services. The firm has been operating since around 2009.
Starting from a purpose built third party template is an underrated middle path. Volusion’s own library is small, so a studio that maintains its own themes widens the starting set considerably, and adapting a well built template costs a fraction of a bespoke build while avoiding the compromises of a stock theme. Ask to see the template running on a live store at your catalogue size before buying.
Addon Solution offers a hire a Volusion developer arrangement from India covering cart customisation, template design, API integration and migration work.
The hire a developer model suits an ongoing trickle of design changes better than a project quote does. Merchants with a standing list of small template tweaks often spend more on the overhead of repeatedly scoping little jobs than on the work itself. The firm’s site footer has not been refreshed since 2023, so confirm current capacity and team composition before committing to a monthly arrangement.
Ask this before anything else, and expect your designer to ask it too. The two platform generations have different template systems, and a quote that does not acknowledge which one you are on has been built on a guess. Legacy V1 stores in particular carry URL and template behaviour that shapes what a redesign can safely change, and a designer who discovers that mid project will come back for more budget.
Volusion’s own library runs to 45 templates with premium options at 180 dollars, and third party studios maintain their own on top of that. Adapting a well built template typically costs a fraction of a bespoke build and gets you live far sooner. Commission a custom build when the store’s merchandising genuinely does not fit any available structure, not because bespoke sounds better on paper.
If there is any chance the store moves to Shopify or BigCommerce in the next two years, say so at briefing. Volusion template code does not transfer, so a bespoke build commissioned twelve months before a replatform is money spent twice. In that situation the sensible spend is a conversion focused refresh of the current theme rather than a ground up design.
Many Volusion stores were designed when desktop dominated and have been made responsive rather than designed for mobile. Those are different things and the difference shows in conversion data long before it shows in a design review. Ask to see mobile mockups first, ask what happens to category pages at your actual SKU count, and treat a portfolio shown only on desktop as a warning.
A redesign usually needs product data restructured to fit the new layout, and Volusion does not publish native JSON-LD support, so schema markup is template level work someone has to do. Establish whether the designer covers both, or whether you are contracting the visual layer and sourcing the rest separately. Several firms above sell bulk product work alongside design, and bundling the two removes a coordination problem that otherwise stalls projects.
For a United States merchant commissioning a genuine custom design, 1Digital Agency, ADX Media and 21Thirteen Design are the strongest options here, and Zipline B2B Marketing is the pick when the theme needs to serve search and Google Shopping as much as it serves the brand. Web Ecommerce Pros is the specialist for merchants who have decided to stay on Volusion for the long run.
Samyak Online, Qdexi Technology, Meggnotec and Addon Solution cover the same work at offshore rates and reward a clear brief and firm art direction. Whichever you choose, settle the V1 or V2 question and the migration question before briefing. Those two answers determine how much design spend is sensible far more than any portfolio does.
