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
Designed by Sarah B. / Built by UX Researcher
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
