ŠKODA UK - Lead Developer for 4+ Years

Sharepoint | JIRA | Lead Development | Google Analytics | Google Tag Manager | KPIs

We had the ŠKODA UK account for 12 years, with myself as a lead developer on it for four years. In this time we saw an increase in primary KPIs (Test Drive and. Car Configurator) of over 300% from our UX lead.

Live Site

ŠKODA have come a long way since being taken over – and subsequently transformed – by the Volkswagen Group, back in 1994. Over the last decade, they have built a brand synonymous with quality, award-winning products and, together with Reading Room, have established a formidable digital platform.

UX / Navigation

Old Navigation: The sharepoint CMS that ŠKODA UK import had templates set up, including the set navigation. We undertook a UX project to make this old navigation more pleasant for users. We were unable to add code to the markup that was set on the page so we had to use a CSS overwrite file to create changes.

New Navigation:The result is; 25% less screen resource used up. Full width looks better. Larger, capitalised updated serif font more AA compliant

CTA Block:We again increased valuable screen resource by removing the black CTA action bar fixed to the top of the screen and added a hover effect right alighed CTA bar. We saw an increase of % in the KPIs.
