The objective was to update our several years old corporate website from something quite technical and static to a more end-user centric and dynamic experience.
Also part of brief was to refresh the brand style and divide the site into more relevant content for different B2B customers.
Personas and roles
It all started with investigation into the target audience, personas and roles of users visiting the website. Our products are typically searched by Product Managers, Business Development, Connected Car Strategists and Executives.
Our content needed to resonate with them and help them into the sales funnel.
Site map & technical solution
We remapped all the content we had and restructured into a new menu structure with all the pages that were needed to provide information about our products and services.
We planned the move from pure HTML to a WordPress solution so that non-technical users could admin and update the site.
Visual language
The team experimented with new visual styles. We looked at OEM and competitor sites to see where we could differentiate and stand out.
Each style was rated for excitement and legibility, alongside the effort needed to create assets.
The proposals were reviewed and approved by the Board.
Site wireframing and design
Once the structure, style and content was agreed and approved, the redesign of the site started in Figma.
First wireframes and prototypes were created and frequently critiqued and improved.
Eventually more fidelity and sign-off for development.
Website launched
The design team created a style kit to make sure all the content was and continues to be visually aligned through the site. They then worked with the front-end developer to engineer the new site.
The site been designed to maximise lead generation, allow for frequent content additions, provide hooks and easy CTAs.
A new company logo and corporate font were also introduced.
To complete the task the new design language was carried forward into our corporate presentations.
Analytics for improvement
Google Analytics were added to every page and subsection within pages, so that the Marketing team could create and track KPIs for important metrics such as site visits, content consumption and where sessions were coming from.
This all helped us to increase our MQL and SQLs and ultimately lead to more sales.
