BRIEF


SUBARU ask the Designory to redesign their global facing e-brochure website that markets to 87 different countries. They required the design to have:

  • a mobile driven approach

  • a consistent layout throughout 8 different models

  • a quicker load speed

  • an adaptable design for multiple translations

  • solutions for specific country specifications

 

GOALS


  1. Build a optimized data website

  2. Provide a clear template that can be adapted to all 8 models, plus other new models to come

  3. Provide UI solutions for country requirements

  4. Incorporating an evergreen design that will translate globally

 

MASTERPLAN


DEFINING THE AUDIENCE

  • 35-45 years old

  • Explorer type personality

  • Adventurous up for anything

  • Minimal screen times

  • Up to date technologies

THE RESEARCH

  • The Turkish language has the longest words when translated- may pose an issue when setting copy blocks

  • Germany requires a car emissions disclaimer on every page- need to develop pop up screens to facilitate

  • Audience expects fast load times- need to make sure the site is not heavy

THE VIBE

  • Adventurous- showcase visuals with high energy and immersive atmospheres that are specific per model

  • Minimal- make it simple to navigate and easy to digest across languages

  • Incorporate gifs/videos where able without losing load speeds

TESTING


  • Significant dropoff rate with slow loading videos

  • Most time spent was on the model comparison charts

  • Testers better understood the safety features with a looping gif

 

CONCLUSIONS


  • All models were built out and translated to all languages

  • There was an increase in traffic to the mobile sites

  • The load time for pages were 1/3 of the speed than before
