2. Creating a
Webby Award
Winner
The Challenge
Lexus is the top selling Luxury automaker in the U.S. and belongs to the global
Toyota family, whose members together constitute the world’s third-leading
automaker. Lexus has a focus on innovation. Lexus wanted to encourage
and inspire its audience to innovate in their own personal lives as well. Lexus
launched their L Studio website to share a collection of original web clips from
art, culture, design, science, entertainment, architecture, and beyond.
The previous L Studio site experienced less than optimal performance that
prevented it from truly achieving 100% of the results that the team had hoped
to achieve. The result was a decrease in support, participation and overall
traffic to the site.
Some of the performance issues experienced:
• Less than optimal SEO
• Non-rigid data-structures allowing some videos or series to either have
or omit attributes applicable to that video
• Inconsistent site performance
• Current web design and information architecture did not meet today’s
requirements
• Less than optimal video quality
• Difficult for content contributors to add videos as they always had to
rely on technical people
The Solution
Team One (Lexus Agency of record) & Lexus selected the Oshyn team to help
them address the issues facing the L Studio website. Oshyn and Team One
partnered to deliver success. Team One provided a new design and information
architecture, while Oshyn focused on the technical implementation.
The technical implementation came with many requirements and challenges:
• There was a requirement that no backend Java code was to be used— the site
needed to be a completely static-HTML site served up by Interwoven Teamsite,
using only client-side JavaScript and Ajax, even for the Search functionality.
• The client also required a very aggressive timeframe to complete the project.
Oshyn mobilized quickly and in the coming months worked very closely with
Team One to deliver a project that would meet the high standards of a major
global brand such as Lexus.
