Statement
Ranking in AirlineRatings' World's safest airline, the Taiwan airline company EVA AIR is renowned for its high-quality services and friendly staff. However, the official website and mobile app were still traditional. It was hard for the customers to find their needs. The decent services also have not reflected online.
In addition to the brand and usability problem, new rules have required the US and foreign carriers to make the web core functions to be accessible to individuals with disabilities. The core functions must comply with the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 levels A and AA by November 2015.
The project aimed to research and redesign the customer’s experience to represent the brand image. The scope covered the homepage, information architecture and the travel management features.
長榮航空向來以本土、親切、優質且安全的飛航服務獲評為台灣人心目中最優質的航空。然而網站和app仍非常傳統,並且未能有效連接旅客服務。專案目標將機艙內高品質的品牌形象,延續到線上服務,進行使用者研究、架構與wireframe設計。優化首頁與行程管理功能,同時也在2015年底,即領先因應全球航空業須於2016年符合WCAG2.0無障礙規範AA等級。

Challenge
The gap between the brand image and the online service
品牌與線上服務的斷差
As the first impression of the brand, the corporate identity system of EVA AIR website was not distinct enough. The interviewees pointed out the primary colors, and the secondary color of the website - the baby green and the baby pink made them feel inconsistent with the brand image. While EVA AIR has a group of the loyal members, the site didn't take advantage of the loyalty to strengthen the member services and tailor the needs.
官網首頁作為第一線與顧客接觸的平台,網站上調性色彩混亂、品牌精神薄弱,無法延伸顧客對於「長榮航空」的好印象。EVA乘客的特性是品牌忠誠度較高,也相對重視會員服務。現有的網站對於已登入的會員,尚未提供更優質、親切的服務,個人化與深度有許多不足之處。
Lost in the complicated information architecture
使用者迷失於複雜的資訊架構
The site intended to provide the information and the features as detailed as it can. In contrast, the users usually got lost in the large mega menu with its 144 items and failed to find the functions by themselves. According to the interviews, the users only used 10 items among the 144 items of the mega menu. As a result, it costs time and money to assist the customers with the customer support hotline.
首頁功能齊全,龐大的資訊架構與選單共有144個項目,經過研究,經常使用的功能卻不到10項。過多的選項令使用者找不到所需的重點功能,降低了使用評價滿意度,也令使用者無法自行解決問題,導致須花費人力處理客訴。
Hard to manage the trip online efficiently
難以有效線上管理個人行程
It's crucial for the traveler to be able to manage their trips online effectively. The itinerary management feature mixed the information and the functions, caused the complexion for the travelers to track their tasks before boarding.
線上報到、選位選餐等行程管理功能是已購票旅客最在意的功能,而現行的行程管理頁面把所有的資訊混雜在一起,旅客無法從中一目了然得知航班狀況與選位、報到等任務完成的程度。
Need to meet the WCAG 2.0 AA standard
需通過無障礙網頁評等AA級
By November 2015, new rules have required the US and foreign carriers to make the web core functions to be accessible to everyone. The features including but not limited to the booking system, frequent flyer accounts, itinerary management must comply with the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 levels A and AA. With the limited resources, it's a new challenge for the design and engineering team to learn and build the site to be both accessible and aesthetic.
2015年底前,飛經美國航線之航空公司皆需通過WCAG2.0無障礙規範,包含首頁、訂票系統、重要行程管理功能。如何設計一個兼具美觀、無障礙的網頁,對程式端與設計端都是個挑戰。




User Research
如何在短時間內透過使用者研究挖掘問題、找尋洞見?
專案的範圍是首頁和行程管理,屬於任務明確的頁面。
因此,我們思考的是如何在兩週內,有效找到品牌價值-行程-網站-服務的脈絡與概念方向。決定聚焦在提升品牌形象與掌握行程,設計了四種主要的工具來實作,同時這也是團隊內第一次有結構性地運用訪談與分析的工具。透過七位受訪者,訪查旅客在旅程的開端,帶著不同的心情經歷旅程,在每一項選擇透露出來的價值觀、與搭乘經驗。

-
問卷、電話初訪後,篩選出7位不同類型受訪者,進行2小時深訪
-
了解品牌價值印象、航途類型、User journey脈絡與顧客忠誠度

-
受訪者演示現有網站使用流程,理解使用動機、體驗、對品牌、廣告的感受
-
