Enel

Enel began as an energy utility like many others. But as their capacity to power society grew, so did the interest in innovative technologies.
And as global energy problems became more evident, our sense of purpose became clearer.

We have worked for ENEL because their main need was that of revamping the “look and feel” of their Spanish Division, called Endesa.

Our principal role consisted in designing and creating a set of guidelines of styles and elements, as well as in documenting technical functionalities. Moreover, we worked on a new contents strategy, involving texts and a communication approach more user oriented.

The topic of accessibility has been our guideline throughout the entire project. Since the beginning, we did confront ourselves with the working team in order to analyze the main requirements of accessibility that should have been integrated.

Among them, there was the need of complying very strictly to the Level AA Conformance to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0).

The major challenge was represented by making our executive and processing choices without sacrificing the level of quality and details of the final result. Finally, both ourselves and our Customer were happy with the result achieved

In the preliminary phase we have invested quite a lot of effort to consolidate a process of modular as well as dynamic and flexible design of the elements of the user interface.

In view of facing the challenges of a huge project like this, this approach proved to be crucial, as it allowed to set and organize the multiple shared choices, opening the road to the creation of a tailored and rich design system, yet well structured and documented, able to serve as a basis for this and other vertical project of the same Customer.

When setting the design choices, ranging from the ones concerning the style and the graphics till the ones dealing with the interaction and function of the project itself, we realized that it was necessary to create a wider platform that could include multiple elements, styles and documents, with the goal of optimizing all design processes related to the complex ecosystem of ENEL’s sites and platforms.

This was the origin of the “Design System Enel”, used as a basis to develop and consolidate the single Endesa project as well as many others...

From a wider standpoint, the cooperation with ENEL has given birth to more specific projects, and each of them has been managed and carried out by different teams located in different geographic areas.

In order to guarantee the compliance to the guidelines previously described here and to ensure that the output quality was coherent with a common objective, aligned with the Customer’s needs, we have supervised the management of all design and development teams.

On top of that, we committed ourselves to follow the process of technical implementation, checking that the project choices were fully shared since the day “zero” and that they were followed along the whole development pathway.

Thanks to this effort, a very high quality standard has been achieved throughout each project phase, and this has been appreciated by every player.
