Develop a concise mobile experience around content for the Firefox product site (mozilla.com)

  • Conduct user & design research phase & produce discovery & recommendations brief (includes a survey & report of what mobile users are looking for when they come to the website - e.g. they may not be looking for a mobile download) [Bug 656453]
  • Conduct a content inventory/audit of all mobile content (what content exists that is only available for /m users - why do we have that content, can that content be replaced with a single content experience that works for desktop & mobile users, which would reduce overall content maintenance)
  • Streamline entire content experience across Firefox product site (mozilla.com/org) to produce a single content experience that works for both desktop & mobile users (eliminating redundant, long-winded, vague, and puff copy). Create best-practices for content creation for Firefox product site that ensures prevailing copy creates an awesome experience for mobile users)

    • Link to creative process
  • Increase conversion to download for mobile clients
    • Support FX5 mobile release project(s) [Bug ]
