homeheaven: A neighbourhood of knowledge

Directories Group had a vision to create an online "Neighbourhood of knowledge" that brings together practical, informative, and inspirational content. That's when they turned to us for the user experience design and Drupal development of their newest site, homeheaven.com.au.

Context

Directories Group collaborated with our team to design and build the homeheaven site on a Drupal CMS platform. 

The site needed a responsive theme that was user-friendly and aesthetically appealing. 

As a content-driven site, homeheaven also needed a platform from which they could provide commercial solutions to home and lifestyle brands, and grow an online community of engaged and loyal members.

The solutions

A significant portion of this project involved considering a reusable platform for future Directories Group sites. We also needed to look at developing a suitable Drupal platform on which the legacy beautyheaven website could be migrated. 

Taking the lead on the information architecture and visual design approach, our team then developed a responsive mobile theme for the homeheaven site. This created a visually enticing destination that engages its audience with rich content and functionality. 

The inclusion of Apache Solr search, an enterprise-class search tool with sophisticated capabilities, enables users to connect with the right content with greater ease and efficiency.

The results

The PreviousNext team deployed the the homeheaven site on time and within budget. 

Post-launch, our engagement with Directories Group continued in the form of support to the homeheaven technical team through enhancements and updates. 

Directories Group was bought by Bauer Media in early 2015.
