Product website redesign

My role

Lead Experience Designer

Summary
Redesign Nissan’s Vehicle Landing Pages into an engaging, informative & personal one-page experience, allowing customers to deep-dive into content relevant to them that hands off seamlessly to other parts of the purchase journey.

About

To coincide with the launch of the brand’s newest flagship vehicle, Ariya, Nissan wanted to re-imagine their vehicle landing pages on their global platform, including implementing a global brand refresh.

Problem areas

Through user research and data analytics, the following problem areas of the existing vehicle landing pages were identified as key considerations for improvement.

Page overload

Existing vehicle landing pages have up to 15 pages, creating a minefield of content for the customer to hunt through. Additionally, this creates a lot of authoring effort.

Research

"When searching for the item I want I like to see all the information in one glance."

Data

The secondary editorial pages have very little organic traffic. The majority of leads are also on the Overview, Config and spec pages.

Tech isn't relevant

Whilst there is an abundance of content that talks about the technology the cars come with, the brand struggles to articulate why users should care.

Research

"48% of LEAF owners did not have a connected services discussion at a dealership."

Research

"What frustrated me is that there are many technical terms without any real explanation of what it means on the website."
