Client

Haier is one of the world's leading manufacturers of home appliances. The company has existed for more than 30 years, has offices in more than 80 countries and more than 85,000 employees.

Objective

Update the content of the online store, as well as remove barriers that prevent a potential buyer to order products online. To increase interest in the product, increase conversion to order.

What we did

At the beginning of the project, we prioritized the tasks, and then divided them into stages:

1. We studied the company's guidelines, references, product categories. Guidelines and references helped to understand Haier's approach to communication with the client and to create suitable stylistic solutions for visual content - icons, interior images and other blocks of catalogue pages.

We assumed that all the work would be standard, but the study of product categories showed that the products in each of them need to be presented differently, requires its own structure of content blocks on the page, individual selection and design of product features.

2. We developed a content plan and design terms of reference - most of the work was with visual content.

Then we wrote the terms of reference for content managers, but it turned out that this way the work is delayed - it takes a lot of time to document and check the plans for both designers and content managers. We really wanted to optimize the process, and so we found a solution - we combined the data on the production of visual and textual content, content in one document, which in addition to this began to work as a checklist for us and Haier. Thanks to this solution, we were able to speed up the work by half.

According to the content plan, created visualizations and drew interior images of goods in accordance with the brand's guidelines and values, sets of icons for the blocks of the site, copyrighted the texts for product features, as well as wrote new ones. Also made banners of promotions.

3. We developed landing pages for new model lines of TVs and refrigerators. We have done the layout and design for the TVs, design for the refrigerators. Landings were ready in three weeks.

4. Filled up the landings and online store with new content. Landings were made on Webflow, filling the online store gave additional experience with CMS 1c-bitrix.

When performing such work, the main difficulty is to prevent a decrease in the quality of content. This can happen for three reasons:

  • Limited time. The development of visual elements requires agreement and subsequent revisions - this may take longer than the initial assessment.
  • Lack of information and references to the products of the online store. The assortment is constantly updated, there are additional nuances in descriptions and ways of presentation of products that affects the amount and type of content during its creation. Therefore it is necessary to allocate more time for studying of the products, distribution of problems, dialogue with the client and search of new references.
  • A large amount of work. At work with large Internet shops it is necessary to consider a considerable quantity of categories and goods, and for each it is desirable to have the separate content plan. It allows to systematize a content better, to accelerate writing of technical tasks, to create individual content solutions for each category and to save time and resources.

In our case, the work was organized in such a way that many tasks were performed in parallel without sacrificing quality and time. In the course of work we improved internal processes of writing technical tasks for designers and content managers. This improvement allowed us to speed up the work: the terms of work on categories have been reduced by 2 times - the category of "washing machines" did a month, and the same volume of other categories have done in a couple of weeks.

Заказчик

Haier - один из ведущих мировых производителей бытовой техники. Компания существует больше 30 лет, имеет представительства в более чем 80 странах и свыше 85 000 сотрудников.

Задача

Обновить контент интернет-магазина, а также убрать барьеры, которые мешают потенциальному покупателю заказать товар онлайн. Повысить заинтересованность товаром, увеличить конверсию в заказ.

Что мы сделали

В начале проекта мы приоритизировали задачи, после чего разбили их на этапы:

1. Изучили гайдлайны компании, референсы, товарные категории. Гайдлайны и референсы помогли понять подход Haier к общению с клиентом и создать подходящие стилистические решения для визуального контента - иконок, изображений интерьеров и других блоков страниц каталога.

Мы предполагали, что вся работа будет типовой, но изучение товарных категорий показало, что товары в каждой из них нужно представлять по разному, требуется своя структура контентных блоков на странице, индивидуальный подбор и оформление фич.

2. Разработали контент-план и техническое задание по дизайну - большая часть работ была с визуальным контентом.

Затем написали техническое задание по наполнению контентом, однако оказалось, что таким образом работа затягивается - требуется уделять много времени документации и проверке выполнения планов и для дизайнеров, и для контент-менеджеров. Мы очень хотели оптимизировать процесс, и в итоге нашли решение - совместили данные по созданию визуального и текстового контента, наполнению в одном документе, который помимо этого стал работать еще и как чеклист для нас и Haier. Благодаря этому решению мы смогли ускорить работу в два раза.

Согласно контент-плану создали визуализации и отрисовали интерьерные изображения товаров в соответствии с гайдлайнами и ценностями бренда, наборы иконок для блоков сайта, выполнили копирайт текстов фич товаров, а также написали новые. Также сделали баннеры акций.

3. Разработали лендинги для новый модельных линеек телевизоров и холодильников. Для лендинга по телевизорам мы выполнили проектирование, верстку и дизайн, для лендинга по холодильникам - проектирование и дизайн. Лендинги были готовы уже через три недели.

4. Наполнили лендинги и интернет-магазин новым контентом. Лендинги сделали на Webflow, наполнение интернет-магазина дало дополнительный опыт работы с CMS 1c-bitrix.

При выполнении подобных работ основная сложность - не допустить снижения качества контента. Это может происходить по трем причинам:

  • Ограниченное время. При разработке визуальных элементов требуются согласования и последующие правки - это может занять больше времени, чем заложено при первоначальной оценке.
  • Недостаток информации и референсов по товарам интернет-магазина. Ассортимент постоянно обновляется, появляются дополнительные нюансы в описаниях и способах представления товаров, что влияет на объем и тип контента в процессе его создания. Поэтому нужно выделять больше времени на изучение товаров, распределение задач, общение с заказчиком и поиск новых референсов.
  • Большой объем работы. При работе с крупными интернет-магазинами нужно учитывать большое количество категорий и товаров, и для каждой желательно иметь отдельный контент-план. Это позволяет лучше систематизировать контент, ускорить написание технических заданий, создать индивидуальные контентные решения для каждой категории и сэкономить при этом время и ресурсы.

В нашем случае работу получилось организовать таким образом, что многие задачи выполнялись параллельно без ущерба качеству и временным затратам. В ходе работ улучшили внутренние процессы написания технических заданий для дизайнеров и контент-менеджеров. Эта доработка позволила нам ускорить работу: сроки работы по категориям сжались в 2 раза - категорию “стиральные машины” делали месяц, а тот же объем по другим категориям сделали уже за пару недель.

Results

As a result, two landings were developed, parallel work was done to create content and fill the site of the online store. Individual visual and text content was developed for 290 catalog products, filling with new content was also carried out by our forces. The result of the work on content was a completely updated catalog of products with modern visuals corresponding to the brand's guidelines and UI kit of the new site.

After adding new content, the number of site views increased by a third, and the number of conversions to order in different categories to 10%. In addition, customer loyalty and the number of real transactions from the website increased.

Результат

В результате были разработаны два лендинга, параллельно проведены работы по созданию контента и наполнению сайта интернет-магазина. Индивидуальный визуальный и текстовый контент был разработан для 290 товаров каталога, наполнение новым контентом также проводилось нашими силами. Итогом работ по контенту стал полностью обновленный каталог товаров с современным визуалом, соответствующим гайдлайнам бренда и UI kit нового сайта. 

После добавления нового контента количество просмотров сайта выросло на треть, а количество конверсий в заказ по разным категориям до 10%. Кроме того, повысилась лояльность клиентов и количество реальных транзакций с сайта.
