The Situation

As part of a redesign of an outdated and overloaded site, Cisco needed to ensure users could quickly and easily find information on cisco.com. Goals included an increase in overall traffic to the site, doubling visitor engagement with content, boosting lead generation, and decreasing costs and resources needed to maintain the site.

Cisco asked Tendo to help redesign a website that would double visitor engagement, boost lead gen, and help users find information quickly.

The Challenge

Most stakeholders didn’t have a stated purpose or goal for the website. The existing pages were glorified data sheets and the site was seen as a nice-to-have rather than a powerful tool to fulfill business needs. The project became a forcing function to uncover friction points in how products were sold—and the journey customers took to get there.

The Approach

  • Conducted in-depth research and architected a content framework which, once built, could easily be expanded and maintained across the entire site
  • Carried out a current state analysis, as well as competitive and best-in-class reviews
  • Interviewed key stakeholders and target audience members
  • Developed a content architecture and replicable, scalable content models—that included organization, prioritization, and copy specs—across key page types, e.g. Category, Subcategory, Hardware, Software, Services, Solutions, Industries, and Segments

The Result

Increase in unique visitors:

15%

Increase in task completion:

13%

Increase in click-through rate:

68%

In addition, there was a 32% increase in "contact us" clicks.

When metrics validated the work, Cisco built a design system of plug-and-play components based on our content framework and scaled it across all business units.
