Game Plan for the Revamp

Since BMW focuses on customer centricity in everything they do, same was the plan for attracting maximum car enthusiasts towards the new website. Built around high-performance technologies, the new data-driven website incorporated high-quality images, full-screen videos and interactive design to meet the high expectations of users.

Technology Driving BWM’s Innovation

1. Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP)

Being an open-source HTML library, AMP enables developers to create compelling yet fast web pages. Currently used by tech giants such as Google & Twitter, it offers interactive capabilities such as filters, product search and infinite scroll. Leveraging AMP, BMW was able to deliver high-quality content to its users without compromising load times. Since speed plays a key role in terms of ranking a website, BWM’s digital agency considered it at the heart of every decision.

Combining the Best of Both Worlds: AMP and PWA’s Ultimate Duo

AMP served great when onboarding users and serving valuable content at a rapid pace whereas PWA components help users to transit swiftly and smoothly into more dynamic sections of the site.
