Agenda • Review redesign objectives • Discuss analysis of current site traffic • Discuss current site audit • Discuss market research/consumer survey • Discuss competitive site review • Discuss budget and timeline • Next Steps
Today’s Objective Review the current industry landscape andestablish needs, mandatories and direction to develop a formal strategy and recommendation for aredesigned AlaMoanaCenter.com
Redesign Objectives • Drive customers to the mall from the website for shopping, dining and entertainment by: • Addressing current site content organization issues • Making relevant and motivational information more visible and accessible to the end user • Update the look and feel of site to be current and consistent with brand update • Address site maintenance and update issues
Current Site Traffic 18% of site visitors are from outside the USA. (7.2% are from Japan, followed by Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. Korea and China visitors, currently, represent less than 1% of overall site traffic) How do the other language sites play into the redesign? What information do we want them to take away? What information are they be looking for? How can we treat management of alternate language sites?
Current Site Traffic Only 47% of US site visitors are from Hawaii. How are we addressing the visitor market? What information are they looking for and what can we provide them with?
Current Site Traffic 96% of visitors have screen resolutions of 1024x768 screen or greater. What opportunities are there to better utilize space for the site? Do we need to box ourselves in to “above the scroll?”
Current Site Traffic The most viewed pages and sections of the site are:1. Homepage2. Store & Restaurant Directories3. Mall Information4. Events & Promotions
Current Site Traffic And the most common user paths are: • Homepage -> Store Directory -> Exit • Homepage -> Mall Hours/direction -> Exit • Homepage -> Mall Map -> Exit • Homepage -> Center Events -> ExitWhat information are people looking for?How can we make that information easier to find?What opportunities are there to provide more motivation to visit the mall before people exit?
Current Site Traffic Promotions: The Thanksgetting Day page was the 7th most visited page all year. It was live for a month. What role does the site play as a promotion vehicle? What level of presence should promotions be given, can more presence be given to them? How can the homepage work harder to drive people to relevant content?
