Complexity is not a foreign concept for maxon, but rather part of their daily business. Their commitment to quality, precision, and the best service also applies to their website, they continuously optimize it for user-friendliness. 

Analysis comes first

As with the development of a new maxon precision drive, a comprehensive requirement analysis was also completed at the beginning of this project. They knew they needed to understand the needs of users today and in the future, and the different user behaviors around the globe to create a tailored customer experience. Their first step was to better understand the technical requirements, the entire customer journey and the technical environment. This was done through internal and external customer interviews and focus groups.

Prototypes, tests, and configurations lead to results

Based on our analysis, a new digital communication architecture was created that meets all requirements: their strategic goals, the high complexity of their broad product portfolio, as well as the market- and country-specific behaviors and needs of their customers.

They have restructured their Business Unit (Medical Technology, Industrial Automation, Mobility Solutions, and Aerospace) pages as well as the products and the maxon Group information. 

In total, over 4,000 new content pages were created – the new site is secured according to the latest standards, SEO-optimized, responsive, and barrier-free.
