The Problem #

DYS’ original site had gone through a failed redesign launch. Competing needs within the company set an unclear direction for the new site to take shape. The company had invested significant effort to create a custom yacht configuration tool. The tool could only be utilised on a very local level (i.e. where yachts are delivered). Connecting prospective buyers with their desired yacht models was paramount.

In addition:

  • DYS offers competitive buying programs that make yacht ownership easy. Straightforwardly presenting these programs was a challenge. How do you segment program models and divvy up programs that fit into the DYS business model?

  • DYS was looking to better qualify their leads, as the original site contact form didn’t allow for this. How might dynamic forms work across the site?

The Solution #

After lengthy internal discussions, major revisions, change in leadership and a pivot from the initial configuration tool. We converged on a workable plan; qualify leads at the site level. I designed and prototyped a rational navigation system for yacht models to allow users to quickly see what is available. We implemented several dynamic forms that enabled the business to capture better-qualified leads. Reducing the amount of time sales agents needed to get to the point with interested buyers.
