Identifying Challenges in Outdated Auto Dealer Websites Affecting Conversion and Usability

The client’s existing website, based on a generic template, suffers from low usability, confusing navigation, and lacks essential functionalities such as vehicle comparison, loan calculators, test drive scheduling, and online parts ordering. These issues result in poor user engagement, low conversion rates, and an inefficient content management process. The client requires a comprehensive digital solution to enhance user experience, increase trust, and facilitate seamless content updates.

About the Client

A mid-to-large automotive dealership organization seeking a modern, responsive online platform to improve customer engagement, streamline content management, and incorporate key features such as vehicle search, comparison tools, test drive scheduling, and online parts ordering.

Goals for an Enhanced, User-Centric Automotive Dealer Platform

  • Create a fully responsive and fast-loading website optimized for all devices to enhance customer accessibility.
  • Design an engaging and intuitive UI/UX to improve user engagement and satisfaction.
  • Implement conversion-focused elements including Clear Calls-To-Action, logical information architecture, advanced search and filtering, and user-friendly navigation to increase lead generation.
  • Develop a comprehensive admin dashboard that enables content management, user roles, and marketing communication (newsletters and SMS) without external dependencies.
  • Incorporate key vehicle-related features such as test drive scheduling, vehicle catalog with detailed info, comparison tools, auto loan calculators, and online spare parts ordering to improve the customer journey and streamline sales processes.
  • Transition from static PDFs to a dynamic online store for real-time inventory, pricing, and order placement, reducing administrative overhead and customer call volume.

  • Test Drive Scheduling: Easy booking process with vehicle selection, rule review, contact input, and confirmation.
  • Vehicle Catalog & Comparison: Browse available models, view detailed specifications, and compare multiple vehicles side-by-side.
  • Auto Loan Calculator: Users can input financing parameters to estimate payments and apply directly via integrated API.
  • Spare Parts Ordering: Find and purchase spare parts and accessories directly through the website.
  • Online Store Transition: Dynamic presentation of inventory, pricing, and ordering to replace static PDF catalogs.
