Harrods has launched its very first online editorial 'The Review' in the year 2012, which was then a static catalogue showing the information of products, but doesn't link to the purchasing journey.

Project brief:

Online editorial re-design addressing the existing business rules.

Challenge:

Bring both the content and commerce together and creating a seamless online shopping experience.

What I did:

  • Stakeholders interviews to understand what they want the customers to achieve on the site and what kind of features they would like to have.
  • Understanding the insights on the existing editorial.
  • Did Competitor analysis on the sites to see what sections and features they have on their sites and how they are presenting it to the customers.
  • Created Sitemaps by working on the information architecture and to define the categories, tagging for the articles and think through possible User journeys
  • Created wireframes and presented to the management by articulating the design decisions.
