Main Challenges
A car manufacturing company collaborates with Adobe to drive digital transformation in marketing and sales across its brand portfolio.
Building on the success of the UX and UI enhancements introduced to one of its brand’s websites, the company decided to extend the new standard of customer experiences to the rest of its online properties.
The company is famous for its premium driving experience and aims for customers to encounter speed, exceptional performance, and comfort in every interaction with their brands. Therefore, enhancing site performance was a priority.
Custom Solution
Our client decided to implement a CMS supporting multi-site management to create consistent experiences for different markets. Although local marketing teams produce content separately, every site feature should be developed once and get available for all teams.
The company engaged Axamit’s AEM frontend developers to implement uniform web UX and UI across sites. They create a site experience that supports the new company standards.
Lazy loading
To reduce the initial page payload and improve load times without compromising content, the team implemented lazy loading. This technique ensures that off-screen images are loaded only when needed, specifically when a user scrolls down the page.
Smart App Banners on Mobile Web
To gently encourage users to download the company’s mobile app from the App Store or Google Play, the company integrated smart app banners across all Android and iOS mobile web browsers. These banners are configured in the AEM-based CMS and adhere to the best practices of unobtrusive promotion methods.
Local Car Dealer Pages
To facilitate the selection of car dealers and provide visitors with relevant information without leaving the website, the company built a Dealer Navigation component. This dynamic menu incorporates links and drop-down lists that dynamically change based on the offerings of every dealer. The information and contact details displayed on these pages are sourced from the dealer’s online properties and are always up to date.
Call-to-Action Bar
The company uses 3-party online chat and customer feedback widgets. As the widgets were developed by different teams, they had different designs. The widget icons were scattered in various sections of the page and disrupted the site experience. The company consolidated the icons into a single CTA bar to ensure a more cohesive UX and visually appealing UI.
Performance Audit
The frontend development team ran the Lighthouse site audit to identify areas for improvement in page load speed. They introduced the most impactful changes recommended in the report to enhance site performance.
Asynchronous Loading
Developers reduced the number of scripts executing in the JavaScript main thread and reconfigured secondary JS files and libraries to load asynchronously.
Dealer Notification Bars
The company introduced universal notification banners to assist dealers in delivering urgent or time-sensitive information to visitors through their pages on the car brand’s site.
Back-Forward Cache
The team ensured the back-forward cache works reliably, enabling users’ browsers to store snapshots of previously visited web pages and swiftly display content when users navigate back and forth.
