Energy Made Easy

We redeveloped the Australian Energy Retailer's website, Energy Made Easy, providing a simplified user interface for complex energy provider comparisons.

Client: Australian Energy Retailer
Industry: Enterprise
Service types: Drupal and Web Development

Context

Under the National Energy Retail Law, the Australian Energy Retailer (AER) has a statutory obligation to provide an online price comparator tool to assist customers in comparing energy offers currently available to them.

After the initial launch of their Energy Made Easy website in mid 2012, the AER found they were experiencing a number of performance issues which arose as the volume of data on the website increased.

They needed a new website that would accommodate a greater volume of offers and significantly improve consumer experience by offering users an accessible and easy-to-use tool.

The solution

Comparing energy offers across various retailers can be complex. With that in mind, a carefully considered development solution was required to improve the Energy Made Easy website's performance and functionality.

With a focus on user experience, the EME platform was built with a simple user interface, supported by a comparatively complex backend.

Underpinned by a high-availability AWS infrastructure, Drupal was at the core of the solution. However, numerous other third-party technologies were also integrated in order to build a highly bespoke platform that would meet all user requirements.

Outcome

A flagship project that demonstrates the extent of our expertise and experience, the new Energy Made Easy website was successfully launched in June 2015.

Our engagement continued as our team made ongoing enhancements to the site and supported both the platform and the hosting infrastructure.
