How do you transform a complex multi-company web presence into a unified digital ecosystem?

When your corporate group spans multiple companies across different markets, creating cohesive digital experiences becomes a strategic challenge. Stena Metall faced exactly this situation – they needed new websites that could present a unified brand while giving each company space for their unique content and communication. Together, we transformed their fragmented web presence into a streamlined, efficient platform that serves both external audiences and internal teams.

Feyenoord. Mobile First.

Hoe geef je, als grootste volksclub van Nederland, jouw supporters die niet in het stadion zitten toch het gevoel dat ze midden in de actie staan? Met deze vraag als uitgangspunt startten wij met Feyenoord onze samenwerking

Feyenoord wil haar supporters een modern en meeslepend digitaal platform bieden dat zowel qua beleving als techniek vooroploopt, vooral tijdens wedstrijddagen met meer dan 36.000 gelijktijdige gebruikers. Samen met de club optimaliseerden we het digitale landschap door losse websites samen te voegen en een nieuwe app te ontwikkelen. Hierdoor ontstond een flexibel en toekomstbestendig platform dat de ambities van deze Rotterdamse club ondersteunt. 

Het resultaat? Een vernieuwende ervaring voor Het Legioen met live wedstrijdverslagen, eenvoudige ticketverkoop en premium streaming via Feyenoord ONE, alles binnen een stabiele en piekbestendige digitale omgeving. Dankzij deze transformatie is Feyenoord altijd en overal verbonden met haar supporters. 

Uitdaging

Feyenoord-supporters en partners de ultieme Feyenoord beleving aanbieden op een toekomstbestendige en gestructureerde website en app.

Oplossing

Het digitale landschap optimaliseren door verschillende platforms samen te voegen, een nieuwe mobiele app te ontwikkelen, en het integratieproces schaalbaar maken waardoor een flexibele en futureproof omgeving ontstaat.

Comprehensive support through the entire process

iO supported Stena through the whole chain of this project – from strategy and research to UX and digital design, to development and CMS customisation, to content strategy and creation, and eventually a global roll-out to 7 markets, with continuous support throughout. 

Web editors were identified as the expert users of the platform, making alignment of their needs and wishes a key success factor. The markets' communication teams and editors were continuously involved through information gathering workshops and feedback sessions. Editor efficiency and user experience became part of the impact goals and central to the process, with streamlining content production, translation and publication as important factors in prioritisation and decision making. 

Building for efficiency and performance

The new websites implement a modern and conversion-centric design that prioritises dedicated areas for compelling call-to-action elements, eliminates unnecessary clutter and adopts a spacious, airy layout. With increased focus on accessibility and readability, information gets the space necessary for effective communication. 

The new website platform streamlines work with integrated content and creates better conditions, so the same information doesn't need updating in multiple places, while maintaining the same quality of user experience throughout all content. 

Technically, the new website represents a substantial improvement, upgrading to Optimizely CMS 12 with the advantages of NetCore for improved performance and a new updated editor experience. This enabled development of a site with primary emphasis on crafting an efficient editor experience that incorporates well-defined structure, purpose-driven components, and clear guidelines for their utilisation. 

"It's been a delight working on this exciting web project with iO. Together, we delivered 16 new websites. Each hurdle we faced became a stepping stone, as we united to conquer obstacles with unwavering determination. The modern platform we've forged is the cornerstone for future development, promising boundless opportunities to elevate our online presence." 

Moa Närström, Product Owner Web, Global Brand and Marketing

The result: measurable efficiency gains

With a modern technical platform, clear website structure, and responsive, clutter-free design, the new websites deliver great SEO and technical performance. 

The editor efficiency and experience has significantly improved. The time saved with the new CMS is at least 40 minutes per news article and 45 minutes per content page – even more when pages require translation into several languages.

"Thanks to iO, our CMS has significantly improved. Their innovative solutions have made managing our content easier and more flexible. With their help, we've gained better customisation options, smoother content management, and improved scalability. iO has truly transformed our CMS into a highly efficient platform!"
