Project context

CKW is a leading energy producer and distributor in Switzerland.It is a company that has experience, know-how and courage to face the challenges of the new energy world. The company offers a wide range of services such as electricity production, energy efficiency services for building automation or the CKW smart home system. We create simple and inspiring solutions that allow customers to access modern energy applications and digital infrastructure.

Challenge

Together with our partner Jung von Matt / Limmat, we were tasked to rebrand CKW. 180heartbeats provided technological background in this project - the agency built a new CKW website. Previously, this customer had several websites dedicated to individual products.

Implementation

We've created a new website that collects content from three different thematic websites and presents them in a modern and accessible way. By using numerous tools and a clear layout of content, users are able to quickly reach the content they are looking for. Thanks to the implementation based on the Neos CMS platform, our website is not only friendly to end users, but also to editors. A number of improvements introduced in the system, such as automatic teaser generators or content guide are of assistance here. Online content editing is also vital.

Results

Thanks to our work and our colleagues from JvM/limmat, a consolidated CKW.ch website was created, communicating about all their competences.

M&F

Modules and functionalities

Topic search engine

On the home page we have included a search engine of topics represented in the form of Teasers downloaded from individual webpages. This search engine filters the issues available on the website in accordance with the filters selected by the user. Thanks to this, he can find what he is looking for in a maximum of 3 steps

Search engine

The full-text search engine quickly provides the user with webpages containing the selected phrase. Phrases appearing in titles and headers are additionally promoted. ElasticSearch based engine allows us to easily expand its functionality in the next stages of the project.

Locations

It presents the locations of individual sales points on the map and allows direct contact with them or downloading a business card. The data for the module has been directly migrated from the existing platform.

Experts

There is a database of CKW experts in the system who are assigned to specific topics. Thanks to that, there is a possibility of direct contact with a specialist from selected webpages in a given field by clicking on his avatar or contact box.

Interactive tools

The website includes numerous tools for users, such as a tariff calculator from which you can place an order or a solar panel calculator.

Forms

A wide range of forms available on the webpages allows you to remotely settle the matters, e.g. change the registration of the electricity meter. Data from forms via special headers are integrated in the client's internal tools.

Content Guide
In the CMS we have created a special section presenting in a friendly way the possible ways of configuring selected content elements. Thanks to this, editors can efficiently review the module configuration options available and copy it directly to the created webpage.

Roles and credentials

We have created a rich authorization system for website editors. Restricting access not only to selected sections of the website but also to individual elements on the website.

Workspaces

Using workspaces, editors can enter and accept content according to a defined process. The introduced changes can also be viewed by users who do not have access to the CMS system via specially generated links.
Style guide
In order to maintain identification consistency in external tools such as energy calculators and configurators, we have prepared a digital style guide on the Frontify platform based on which existing tools will be refreshed.
