P&O CRUISES
P&O Cruises required an updated design system that could evolve and scale along with their visions for their customer facing websites and portals.

We started with an initial kick-off to meet the key stakeholders, understand their motivations and ensure they all understood each others goals. Also understanding their customers across the P&O Cruises and Cunard brands, to see where assets could be shared as a way to reduce complexity and cost of development.
One of the core goals in addition to improving customer experience, was to drive more revenue through their digital channels. We were particularly successful at this and w provided the team with some deep insight as to the speed we could rollout the changes. There was the challenge during this project of a global pandemic, in which we undertook a number of projects to mitigate the impact on their customers and prep for when they started cruising again.
As happens with many design systems, over time inconsistencies appeared and content was being shoehorned in to components that weren’t fit for purpose. We ran a complete audit of the site and provided a report with recommendations and priority status of effort vs impact. This led on to us creating a consolidated design system using the atomic design approach, fully connected to allow for fast, global updates going forward.

The use of colour was inconsistent across their digital estate, so we provided a clear approach to use along with new rollover and click state variants. This made it easier for users to understand the interface faster and ease the cognitive load on users.

There was a lack of visual hierarchy on the site due to the abundance of flat design and reused components, therefore adding depth and controlled glassmorphism on the site, made it easier for users to scan the page quickly and understand it.
Success
We ran a range of experiments that were carefully measured and analysed, making significant gains in the process against the agreed KPI’s. This built trust in the team and the work we were doing.
