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
Build a optimized data website
Provide a clear template that can be adapted to all 8 models, plus other new models to come
Provide UI solutions for country requirements
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
WIREFRAMES
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
