In the autumn 2018, a new shopping centre was opened in Tallinn, accompanied by a Ferris wheel with the highest point at 130 metres above the sea level. It is a new transport hub, includes an enormous children’s indoor playground and science center, many shops and restaurants with seven-meter-high ceilings, let alone a cinema and an organic produce market . T1 Mall of Tallinn is a new landmark in the city’s skyline!
The goal was to create an impressive new generation shopping centre’s website, with functionalities yet unseen in the local market. In addition, interactive floor plan guide to help the guests of the centre to navigate, provide entertainment and transportation information, was our second, yet not less important, goal within the project.
Together with the designer from Velvet and product owner from the client side we started off with MVP-s for both projects as the timeline was tight – from 0 to launch there was just under 8 weeks. For the opening, in November 2018, we had created functional and great looking website, both desktop and mobile, together with the touch screen floor plan guide.
In the following months, we added several functionalities and improvements, and now, for example, any website visitor or centre’s guest can get info about the cinema agenda, public transportation arrivals and departures, look up stores and services by brands and much more.
Browse, search and learn all the brands the centre’s different shops & restaurants offer with ease.
Search by keywords written in the website is not enough in this case. Each renter can curate their own shop search index. For example, you can search by the keywords – bow tie, for example – to find the stores that sell them.
Get info about all the events, happenings, concerts, exhibitions, etc. taking place in the centre from the web and the floor plan.
With more than 200 renters, the page has a unique possibility for each renter to have an opportunity to curate their own page content (with moderation process, of course): spacial deals, discounts and news are constantly available in T1 Mall of Tallinn. All listed on the website and the floor guide.
Together with the Google Map integration and separate public transportation view (departure times of tram, bus, train nearby) the solutions provide you easy access and all the info you need to get to and from the T1 Mall of Tallinn.
Coming by car? No problem. Check in advance, how many free spots each car park has and which ones are the closest to your desired destination.
The floor plan gives you a great guidance how to get from point A to point B. Open up the map or search the desired shop/restaurant and click to show the route.
As with all great projects, they never end! The concept of T1 Mall of Tallinn is futuristic, thus we are sure many new and yet unseen functionalities will be added to the project.
