Challenge

Barclays needed a new corporate website that would consolidate a plethora of global sites into one coherent offering, making their content easier to manage. This would be the main news and editorial hub for the business.

Approach

We interviewed all department stakeholders in Barclays.com - from Sponsorship to Citizenship and Investor Relations - to understand their needs, goals and pains around content creation. This informed out proposed Information Architecture for the website and we continued to test with stakeholders as we built out prototypes for each section.

Solution

This massive CMS-driven brochure website was built from the smallest set of design system components, to maximise maintainability. The thing I am most proud of here, is how much we empowered content creators. Years after launch, high quality could still be published easily daily - with the help of these flexible templates and components.

"The workshops we did with Rob were incredibly useful and resulted in so many ideas for enhancing the service we provide. Even better, we've set up systems for gathering guest feedback ourselves!"
