TL;DR – the 30-second version

TL;DR

01 – The problem

News, resources and case studies were scattered across the site. Engineers couldn’t find proof fast enough to bring Vertiv into a deal.

02 – What I did

Led UX end-to-end: content audit, IA, wireframes, high-fidelity UI and a component library the dev team shipped on.

03 – The result

+64%

Organic traffic to Insights in the first six months

(01) – The challenge

Great content. Nobody could find it.

Vertiv publishes a steady stream of industry news, white papers and customer stories – but they lived in different corners of the site, each with its own template. Sales teams were emailing PDFs because the website couldn’t do the job.

The brief: build a single, scalable “Insights” destination that serves busy engineers first, ranks well in search, and gives marketing a system they can publish into without calling a designer.

“If an engineer can’t find the proof in two clicks, the content doesn’t exist.”

(02) – Process

How it came together

01

Discover

Content audit, analytics and stakeholder interviews to find what engineers actually searched for.

02

Structure

A topic-first IA: industries, technologies and content types that cross-link instead of silo.

03

Wireframe

Low-fi flows for hub, article, resource and case study pages, tested with sales and marketing.

04

Design system

High-fidelity UI built as a component library – cards, filters, article modules, CTAs.

05

Hand-off

Specs, tokens and QA with the dev team through launch, plus a publishing guide for marketing.

Where AI helped

Research into best practices and overviews of various editorial and news resource channels combined with wireframe design.

(03) – The work

Hub, article, mobile.

Annotated: modular cards let marketing publish news, papers and stories into one system – no new templates.

(05) – If I did it again

What I’d do next

Personalise the hub by role – facility manager, IT lead, engineer – and measure which content actually starts sales conversations, not just page views.
