Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.
PlayStation®Home site renewal
We renewed the PlayStation®Home official website, a service provided by Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC. In the renewal, we improved branding by improving user-friendliness, and a design which follows the visual identity and worldview of PlayStation®Home.
01 A design that communicates the worldview and improves user-friendliness with a reviewed information architecture.
We also reviewed the information architecture and placed a site map in the footer to ensure that new users, and old users when the structure changes, do not get lost on the website. We spared no effort in improving convenience and enabled smooth access to support information like maintenance information and FAQ.
02 Easy page and data creation is done via XML updates.
Various events are held at PlayStation®Home, users' communication is active, and pages are frequently added and updated. For this reason, the large visual banner and related moving image display, are made from different parts which can be easily inserted in the necessary pages. Also, for parts with a high update frequency, it is possible to update the site by only changing the XML file.
