Starobrno (EN)

The brewery wanted a website they could administer on their own

The task was clear from the very beginning. We wanted to push the design of the Starobrno website into 2016, interconnect the presentation with social networks as much as possible, and enable the client to further work on, update, and develop the website. We ensured the last requirement by using the Kentico platform which is developed by a company with the same name, also based in Brno.

The revision of the website told us everything we didn’t know yet

The study of the initial status performed by Proficio included a traffic overview by Google Analytics and maps monitoring user behaviour on the website. The analysis of competitors showed us presentations of other strong local brands as well as the fact that its emphasis on location works for Starobrno as a good distinguishing element. It followed from the study that the content is unnecessarily fragmented in the quite well-arranged website structure and the users couldn’t find everything in a single place.

3 změny na ukázku

·  Před: Lidé prohlíží typy piv, ale málo klikají na odkaz Ocenění směřující na další stránku.

       o   Po: Nechtěli jsme uživatele vodit po webu sem a tam. Nebylo nic jednoduššího než jednotlivá ocenění přiřadit přímo na stránku s produkty Naše pivo.

·  Před: Na stránkách Prohlídka a Pivní kurzy uživatelé rychle ztrácely pozornost. Chyběly zde fotky, takže dalším krokem většiny uživatelů byl proklik do Galerie.

       o   Po: Cestu uživatele od informací k fotkám jsme v obou případech zkrátili na minimum. Do stránek jsme zakomponovali galerii, která přibližuje interiér i dění v pivovaru.

·  Před: Na stránce Kontakt se nacházel formulář s nejednoznačnou výzvou „Chcete se stát naším zákazníkem?“, který ve sledovaném období nikdo nevyplnil.

       o   Po: Vzhledem k zaměření webu pouze na B2C komunikaci jsme vypustili formulář oslovující majitele pivnic a restaurací. Veškerý kontakt s fanoušky a zákazníky Starobrna probíhá na sociálních sítích, takže nebylo potřeba, aby tuto funkci web duplikoval.

The website design is completed by social media content

From the beginning, our graphical artist worked with the Starobrno brand manual and some very good photos which gave us quite a free hand in designing. Both recent and historical photos of the brewery are used across the website and we worked with motifs referring to the beer and its brand on all the pages. The emotions related to Starobrno were projected onto the website using the application Juicer, which enabled us to load any number of posts from social networks onto the homepage.

The content management system just invites you to play with the website

Kentico CMS 9, onto which we deployed the Starobrno website, is a very intuitive platform for website editing. After completing a 2-hour training course, Starobrno’s sales representatives are now able to edit all the content on the website themselves. Most frequently, they create new events, update the slider on the main page, and create new subpages for limited-time offers, special beers etc. Given that the brand creates a lot of audio-visual content, we modified the initial slider as well as the event pages so that videos can be put on them instead of photos.

The client is satisfied and we’re still developing the website

Despite using the photos directly in the graphics, we reduced the loading time from 4.42 to 3.12 seconds, which the client was happy about. The data related to the time people spend on the website, number of pages viewed per visit, and the bounce rate show that users now find what they need quickly and easily. Thus, together we succeeded in meeting the goals we had set out to achieve. Thanks to all this in October 2016 the Starobrno brewery was able to introduce a new, attractive website that also works on mobile devices and displays all its pages faster. Díky podařené spolupráci jsme pro Heineken následně připravili redesign prezentačních webůHostan, Šalina pub nebo Zelené pivo. 

Na přelomu roku 2019 a 2020 nás společnost Heineken Česká republika pozvala do výběrového řízení na předního dodavatele webových služeb. Svoji pozici jsme obhájili a stali jsme se smluvním partnerem společnosti.
