A HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTUrE BY MAKING TRADE FAIR.

Fairtrade ANZ came to us with the complex problem of redeveloping their Australia and New Zealand websites. Both existing websites had a similar structure which we decided to unite under one domain and redevelop one website for both regions. Key requirements identified for this project were to:

• effectively reach and communicate to both Australia and New Zealand audiences,
• create a seamless user flow for both business and consumer audience groups,
• and redesign the website to be consistent with existing branding while readapting key elements for digital purposes, inclusive of delightful animations and transitions.

Fairtrade ANZ’s key objective was to ensure every audience from end-consumer to licensees to producers were clearly communicated to through their website. Along with a contemporary and bold redesign to embody the brand’s values whilst adapting the existing branding to a digital landscape, the new website split up the new website users by user group (business vs consumer). The solution allowed users (through a variety of user journeys) to select their own audience group, allowing the brand to customise messaging to existing and potential licensees as well as users in the consumer market.

A key goal was to successfully merge the content from two existing websites for the two regions, redirecting users from search engines to the new website which required prudent attention toward redirecting old URLs ensuring no loss of SEO value. A flexible Content Management System also allowed Fairtrade ANZ to create custom landing pages for marketing purposes for their various digital marketing campaigns.
