Content design process
I worked closely with design, product and commercial stakeholders to improve the content structure so we would be able to use the same template across all products.
Instead of just rewriting / copyediting the titles, I took a big-picture view of screens, information flow, and the specific requirements of each product.
On a shared copy doc, I consolidated the commonalities and differences for each product, in order to determine how a common content structure or template could best support this.
I then implemented these commonalities in the content structure of the page
At the same time, through user research conducted in Australia, UK, EU and US markets, we found that what users pay attention to when deciding which ticket to buy stems less from the details in the ticket guide, but words that highlight the differences between different ticket types.
Scaling it to other pages
This was the first time that product, design and the business planning teams had worked with a content designer on information architecture and content design. After it worked well, we adopted the same approach for other screens, namely luggage and seat/cabin guides:
Outcomes
Since launch of the page structure in ~Sep 2024, more information and products have been added to the pages. The template has held and proven to be a useful, constant content structure for all mobility products.
