We were delighted with Outpost’s design and approach for our website, providing a great platform to grow with us as we scaled up into new sector verticals. The scalability of the website to meet future needs was paramount to us, they understood the fast growth of our business and the flexibility the site required. They created a very user-friendly design, which given our interaction with both business and consumers, was no small task.Gavin Malone, CEO and Founder
During the discovery phase of the project it became clear that Energy Park had a deep belief that the road to electricity should be for everyone. They were the champions for everyone to go electric - our approach was to elevate this rallying call and bring it to life in a clear, simple and engaging experience.
While everyone else in the market was focusing on green credentials and sustainability we saw an opportunity to stand out from the crowd by changing the narrative and focus on the journey itself and how that benefited the customer and ultimately how Energy Park guides them along the way.
As Energy Park offered solutions to homes and businesses this meant its audience was extensive and covered anything from a single charger in a residential home to large-scale commercial operations such as holiday parks or business fleets. With this in mind the experience had to perform for all demographics, those new and old to EVs and ensuring it supported the brands growth plans so simplicity, clarity and scalability were key to the success of the project.
Through highly considered design and a robust content strategy we aimed to make the service offering as simple and clear as possible while through the brand language and storytelling we would position EV’s as accessible to everyone yet still aspirational.
With the brand's value proposition guiding people to the right EV solution it was vital that the UX embodied this belief. Again with so many audiences to cater for across different markets we ran the risk of over complicating the experience so we worked closely with the client, identifying common themes across audiences to develop concise benefit-driven messaging and optimizing user journey. Along with this we ensured there were clear sign posts guiding users across the experience helping them connect the dots.
Throughout the entire process it was vitally important for us to keep the audience at the core of all storytelling and get right to the key benefits of how Energy Park adds value to their daily lives. Instead of focusing on the endless product features we led with solutions and then supported this with the right products. Staying true to our principles we aimed to constantly strip away the excess that did not support the brand narrative and guide the user across the digital experience.
It was vitally important that the design and the technical infrastructure could support rapid growth in the coming years. With this in mind the design system was built to be highly dynamic and modular. We focused on designing and building a suite of interchangeable modules and components with no particular pages being pre-defined.
This gave us the ability to build out numerous pages from a relatively small number of modules. To ensure we didn’t fall under the normal ‘cookie cutter’ look and feel that can happen with modular based systems we outlined a set of design systems for particular page designs and brought the brand to life through custom Javascript interactive features and play-ful emotion-led animations.
To ensure maximum performance and scalability we adopted a headless architecture using Dato CMS, with the site being statically generated and hosted on Netlify. To ensure ongoing maintenance of the site by the client is easy and intuitive we also customized the CMS interface based on their requirements.
With simplicity at its core the design language was perfectly optimized for mobile ensuring the brand was well expressed on smaller screens while ensuring all functionality was maintained across devices.
