June 22nd, 2009 – Brooklyn, NY - Register.com, the leading provider of global domain name registration and domain management, tapped digital agency HUGE to redesign its web service. The goal for the project was to create the easiest and most powerful online service for individuals setting up domains and websites. The solution, designed and developed by HUGE, includes customer success stories, designed to engage new customers, while showcasing how Register.com’s services can be used by small businesses to establish a professional web presence.
HUGE did extensive user research on two target audiences: existing Register.com customers and potential customers who have not yet made a domain name purchase.
“We found that customers were looking for a greater understanding of how to put a small business on the internet,” says Tara McNulty, Vice President of Operations at HUGE. “Seemingly basic tasks like how to begin selling online or how to merge email addresses had become roadblocks. Our redesign focused on making information and tools critical to small business owners accessible and easy to understand.”
Results to date include increased sales, higher conversion on premium products, improved customer retention, and referrals. In addition, HUGE’s redesign on Register.com was an official honoree at the 13th Annual Webby Awards, the leading international honor for the Web, in the Professional Services category. "The Webby Awards honors the outstanding work that is setting the standards for the Internet," said David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards. "HUGE's redesign of Register.com is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of its creators."
