JMAC.comVolusion to BigCommerce Migration
Challenges
With increasing web traffic and an expanding catalog, JMAC needed a robust digital presence to align with its growing brand and offerings. Their previous Volusion-based site, while functional, lacked the flexibility and modern features required to support their growth. The outdated design and limited mobile optimization hindered JMAC’s ability to engage users effectively across devices, failing to fully showcase their industry expertise or attract new audiences.
As JMAC's catalog grew in variety, the older platform struggled to handle the traffic efficiently, resulting in slow page speeds and an unintuitive checkout process. These limitations made it challenging for users to navigate the site and explore their options easily. Additionally, the website lacked user-friendly features and engaging experiences, leaving prospective customers frustrated when navigating between categories and services.
Our redesign focused on integrating features and interactive elements that enhanced the user experience while optimizing performance for Google Speed rankings. By delivering a seamless, intuitive interface, we aimed to make it easier for users to explore JMAC’s offerings and elevate the site to reflect the company’s vision, something the previous platform couldn’t achieve.

Actions Taken
The JMAC Supply Corp team shared their vision, and our BigCommerce developers and expert designers worked collaboratively to bring it to life. The primary objective of the redesign was to create a modern, intuitive interface that addressed the shortcomings of their previous site, particularly its lack of mobile responsiveness. We prioritized crafting a user-friendly platform that enables customers to easily navigate, explore categories, and access detailed product information.
On the homepage, we introduced a "Featured Brands" section, highlighting key products and models within each brand category. As a B2B and B2C company, JMAC’s customers often know exactly what brands and products they need. To streamline the user experience, we also included a "Shop All Brands" option adjacent to the featured section, directing users to a comprehensive "Brands" page listing all offerings. This targeted approach ensures customers can efficiently find what they’re looking for.
We also elevated JMAC’s branding with a visually appealing design that reflects their expertise in the security and surveillance industry. Consistent branding elements and high-quality visuals were implemented to strengthen their market presence and attract a broader audience. Additional enhancements included mega navigation and expandable categories to improve product discovery, along with optimized product pages featuring detailed product descriptions, quality images, and clear CTAs to drive conversions. Operational efficiency was improved with tools for inventory management, order processing, and analytics, simplifying backend workflows and enabling data-driven decision-making.
This comprehensive redesign equips JMAC Supply Corp with a powerful, scalable platform, positioning them for sustained growth, improved customer satisfaction, and continued success in the competitive security and surveillance industry.
