Challenge

How might we develop a content management system (CMS) within SP_CE to enhance user engagement and boost our competitive edge?

Background

From 2021 to 2023, SP_CE offers branded digital spaces where sellers can safely invite people, share content, collaborate and earn actionable insights into buyers’ journey. In this project, we created the new CMS empowering brands to create, customize digital spaces and scale in minutes, which is one of the largest projects at SP_CE since 2021.

Business Problem

Easily replaceable by competitors

In 2021, the majority of sellers primarily relied on SP_CE-branded digital spaces for their meeting needs, making us easily replaceable by other meeting tools once the threat of COVID diminished. Our team wanted to increase user engagement for our core users by increasing use case adoption.

Seller Problem

Limited Customization

While sellers do everything in their power to deliver a branded experience in the buyer’s journey, they have few ways to currently do so on SP_CE.

Research Findings

From customer support requests and Hotjar recordings a few things stood out:

1. Sellers want to share various content types such as images, videos, text, panels containing important resources, buttons with branded styles.

2. Sellers want to combine contents to create dynamic layouts supporting multiple columns horizontally on desktop screen.

3. The dynamic layout must be mobile-friendly.

Ideation

To address the design challenge, I brainstormed several UI exploration. Based on the feedbacks from developers and management, we then proceed with one option.

Competitor Analysis Findings

I did a competitor analysis on other famous CMS to understand the interaction behaviours and opportunities for improvement. The competitors including: Wix, Wordpress and Shopify as our current sellers use these platforms more than others.

1. Content block types

Drawing from the insights, I conducted another round of low-fidelity design and identified 9 content block types that will be supported in the new CMS.​
