Vodafone UK launches microsite to showcase latest tech innovations

Jon Davies, head of digital at Vodafone UK, said: “The content and messages on our new site represent our big ambition to be a leader across our industry and beyond. Transforming what we deliver and how we deliver is at the centre of Vodafone Labs. Feedback from inside and outside the business has been fantastic and we are looking forward to continuing the story of digital Innovation in Vodafone.”

Web design and build agency MMT Digital worked in partnership with sister agency agenda21 and Vodafone Digital to develop the launch iteration of Vodafone Labs in only two weeks.

Ian Greentree, client solutions manager at MMT Digital, said: “By having the product owner, designers and developers working side by side we were able to define a strong Minimum Viable Product (MVP). This allowed Vodafone to effectively prioritise its business requirements and substantially reduce time to market. The Labs MVP microsite was conceived and delivered in a single sprint which not only included design, build and SEO but also the production of content and online video.

“Our agile culture allowed development to move forward while we tested the site with Vodafone’s stakeholders via a daily build of the demonstration environment. Developers created pages from wireframes where UI design hadn’t been created and in some cases, didn’t need to be fully designed. This saved a lot of time and prevented the scope creep we sometimes see from ambitious design.”

MMT Digital is part of the Be Heard Group, a pure play digital services group operating at the intersection of marketing, technology and e-commerce.
