Overall Functionality Status Functionality and Navigation: Several functionalities are applied only in certain areas of the site but could help improving traffic / retention on others We are not taking advantage of all available assets There seem to be too many “dead end” areas inside important landing pages Loading Times: navigation in some pages is very slow Many site tools are not clear enough for the average user - specially since they’re not consistent There are not instructions on how to use the product to obtain the most of it (more “call-to-action” items and wording as well as help section could be included) Entertainment category is confusing
Overall Functionality Status • Content Optimization • MUST CLICK areas are not clear across the site • It’s hard for users to appreciate “at a glance” what’s new inside Batanga • Top Stories on homepage rarely change • Content hierarchy (where do I click first?) is not clear in some pages • Genres / Artists / Songs are not instinctive and hard to browse • Unique Content (only available in Batanga) is not differentiated • Artist tune-in promos • Exclusive interviews / specials / minisites • Editors’ picks and recommendations • There’s not enough promotion of upcoming content features (specials, album launches, celebrity playlists, listening parties, etc.)
Overall Functionality Status • Design Consistency • Functionalities and navigation tools are not the same or are not used equally across the website • Branding and styling are not consistent throughout the site, or at least some of the basic elements are not recognizable across all pages and sections • Not everybody involved in the product / design / project / marketing / sales teams seem to be aware of all branding elements that MUST be included in all pages
Q1-08 Product Plan • Music Discovery • Overall Functionality Optimization • Overall Usability Optimization • Site Structure / Page URL • Music Database Optimization • Omniture Implementation
Music Discovery Main Tasks • Content Catalog Integration • Improve Search and Browsing • Optimize genre and artist pages • Create new song page • Similar Artist and Song engines • Optimize “What’s Top” Algorithm
Overall Functionality Main Tasks • Create / Update feature and functionality catalog (favorites, ratings, comments, etc.) • Enhance and integrate “My Stuff” info (user participation data) across the site -- My Stations, My Playlists, My Favorites, etc. • Create “Alerts” engine • “Remember me” functionality
Overall Usability Main Tasks • Integrate new Site Structure to navigation, sections, etc. • Solve consistency issues in current interface design • Create and distribute a Style Guide including all branding and design specs that need to be used across the site • Keep an updated site map, including navigation logic, top visited pages, top entry-pages and pages with most commercial potential • Create a common list of “Batanga Product Commandments” together with Marketing team to ensure effective adoption and establish Quality Control checklist
Navigation and usability approach
Omniture Implementation • Set-up product key performance indicators
