T-Mobile overhauls its website for greater customer service

New site design offers customers easier navigation and access to self-service options

Key features:

 

 

 

London, 5 November 2009:T-Mobile has unveiled its redesigned website www.t-mobile.co.uk. The new-look site makes it easier for customers to find the information they are looking for and complete any self-service activities online with T-Mobile, including upgrading their phone, changing their personal details and checking their bill.

 

The changes to all 1,500 pages of the website were based on customer insight and feedback. Key to this was updating the layout of each page. The site has been designed using a landscape format which means the size of each page has been significantly expanded. The extra space has been used to create a simple, clean layout which is more intuitive, informative and visually appealing “ key factors that came through in customer feedback.

 

Chris Bell, Head of Consumer and Online at T-Mobile, said: More and more, people are using our site to shop for phones and keep their mobile account information up to date. We’ve redesigned the entire website “ not just the homepage “ to focus on and deliver a great customer experience. We want to ensure that when our customers visit www.t-mobile.co.uk, they can find what they’re looking for easily and quickly, and that the site is appealing and engaging enough to make people want to come back regularly.

 

A key feature of the redesigned site is the homepage. ˜My T-Mobile’, ˜Upgrades’, ˜Mobile Broadband’, ˜Pay Monthly Phones’ and ˜Pay as You Go Phones’ sections remain, but T-Mobile has removed some of the less critical information, so if a customer just wants to shop or wants to access My T-Mobile they can do so in one click. Beyond the homepage, the new look and feel has been applied across the entire website, and the content on other pages has also been simplified.

 

The site  went live on November 2nd  2009.
