Comprehensive user experience with new website

Innovative design and many new features

The new EPLAN website is now online. With its completely new, clear design, the site brings together innovative content about the solutions and services for all aspects of engineering. The designers focused on creating an ideal user experience and ease of use. Page structures have been adapted and the search function optimised. Multimedia links ensure that visitors can decide for themselves how deep they would like to dive into the information on offer.

Monheim, Germany, 04 December 2019 – Efficiency isn’t just the name of the game for the spectrum of EPLAN solutions. It was also the driver for developing a completely new homepage. Exciting features are apparent at first glance: dynamic images and a vertical navigator have replaced the previous format, while the website’s structure has been completely redefined. Central topic-based overview pages quickly and intuitively lead users to more detailed information. A comprehensive selection of interviews and videos about the EPLAN Platform expand the range of topics. The responsive design ensures the site can be accessed from any mobile device and always offers the perfect user experience.

Customised content

The new ease of use kicks off on the landing page, with visitors receiving direct, customised content after selecting their job title and industry. The content is further complemented with intuitive filtering options and improved search functionality, enabling relevant information to be found more quickly. “We were guided by the needs of the market for the new website design,” says Gabriele Geiger, Head of Marketing. “The modern look and feel makes it even easier for customers and prospective clients to get answers to their individual questions.”

Targeting social media channels

Links to LinkedIn, Xing, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube offer customers and partners the opportunity to quickly and easily share content. The EPLAN ePulse website (www.epulse.com), which has also been redesigned, invites visitors to click: users now have the possibility to log into the cloud software via a direct link and use the EPLAN eView, EPLAN eBulid and EPLAN Data Portal solutions. The online EPLAN Solution Center support system can also be reached with a just a few clicks and has useful tutorials, FAQs and the EPLAN information portal.

Outlook

“Quite a lot has happened since the last website relaunch in 2013,” Gabriele Geiger says, “but of course this isn’t the end of the story. We’re steadily working on providing new features to improve the user experience.” The next step is a 3D industry animation in which website visitors can click through the various industrial sectors. The login area will also be expanded in the future so that individual downloads can be found listed together and be requested again at any time. The website is currently available in English and German, and starting in mid-2020 it will also be available internationally in fifty countries with regional language support and local content.
