With a strong presence in the Canadian market, Yokohama Canada is known for providing exceptional customer service and a diverse selection of reliable tire solutions tailored to meet the needs of both individual consumers and businesses alike.
Following thorough analysis of the collected data, two strategic directions naturally emerged as we collaborated closely with the Yokohama Canada team through workshops and engaging discussions. From the final selected direction, we began developing a distinctive visual and textual identity platform that would strengthen Yokohama Canada’s overall value proposition, both by market and product range.
The integration of the tagline "Exceptional Tires" alongside the slogan "Performance, Safety, and Innovation," along with the unique naming of the three product lines as "Premium, Standard, and Eco," helped elevate the brand narrative to a new level. This approach transcends simply selling products; it communicates a unified vision and promise throughout all customer interactions.
The outcome is a modern identity inspired by the automotive landscape, reflecting simplicity, quality, and meticulous attention to detail, which are integral to the exceptional experience offered by Yokohama Canada. A comprehensive brand and content guide serves as a vital reference, unifying the entire communication and sales team behind this vision and ensuring consistent messaging across all platforms.
As, we undertook a comprehensive restructuring of the UX/UI from the ground up to create a seamless and flawless user experience. Our team conducted in-depth research and analysis to understand user needs and preferences, enabling us to design an intuitive interface that prioritizes ease of navigation. We streamlined the layout, simplified interactions, and enhanced visual elements to guide users effortlessly through the website.
The result is a cohesive design that not only looks appealing but also ensures that every user journey is efficient and enjoyable, ultimately enhancing engagement and satisfaction.
In summary, the YOKOHAMA CANADA project focused on delivering a comprehensive website revamp aimed at enhancing user engagement and accessibility. The main deliverables included the creation of a new bilingual site built on Custom Laravel, ensuring that the platform meets the specific needs of diverse users. Through extensive requirements gathering, we clarified design objectives that informed an accessible design conforming to WCAG AA standards. The front-end was optimized to effectively showcase their offerings, and a visually cohesive redesign introduced a new stylescape that enhanced the overall aesthetic of the Mapping the Way brand. Furthermore, a newly structured sitemap improved navigation, keeping visitors engaged while reorganizing the content in a user-friendly manner. This holistic approach not only elevated the user experience but also reinforced the brand's commitment to inclusivity and accessibility.
