Redesigning Singtel.com’s support page

Content strategy, cross-team coordination, and technical problem-solving

Why it mattered

The problem

  • Singtel’s support page get ~22k visits monthly and is the 5th most visited page

  • With 125k calls to customer care each month, improving self-help can cut call volume substantially

The fix

  • Revised content, information architecture, and design

  • Consolidated self-help and contact us options into 1 support hub

How this helps customers

  • Find answers faster in fewer clicks

  • Less cognitive load

How this helps the company

  • Improved work efficiency with reusable article design templates

  • Proven content migration approach that can be used for other projects

The details

The team

  • 2 content designers

  • 1 UX designer

  • 2 researchers

Cross-functional partners

  • Product owners

  • Digital authoring team

  • Customer experience

  • Product marketing

Part 1: The design work

Part 2: The execution

Good design means nothing if you can’t ship it

Here’s what made this complex:

A juggling act

  • 700+ pages on a live site, 0 downtime allowed

  • Ongoing content requests during migration

  • Coordination across 4+ teams

Technical constraints

  • Parent/child URL pathway dependencies affecting migration

Build constraints

  • Design system components not fully available

Challenge 1: Technical constaints

The problem

  • URLs sharing parent paths had to migrate together

  • Unpublishing a parent path (e.g. /support/broadband/) would remove all child articles under it

• singtel.com/personal/support/broadband/routers-ont

• singtel.com/personal/support/broadband/troubleshoot-change-wifi-name-and-password

The solve

  • Batched migration by category — Broadband first

• Highest complexity (content & volume)

• 1 of top call drivers

  • Redirect strategy — set up dedicated error pages for retired content

  • Temporary builds — rehomed misclassified articles from Broadband to Account before migration

Why broadband?

  • Highest complexity (content & volume)

  • 1 of top call drivers

Challenge 2: Coordinating the build

The complexity

  • Rewrote and consolidated ~120 articles in Broadband category, cutting article count by 86%

  • 3-phase rollout with UAT at each stage

  • Tracked design component readiness to unblock page builds

  • Ensured content continuity during migration, managing new content requests and redirecting legacy URLs used in email and SMS

Challenge 3: Process gaps

What went wrong

Handoff confusion

Digital authoring team unclear on shared content linkouts

Messy documentation

Comments and notes peppered across Figma file

Multiple sources of truth

Figma, Excel, Powerpoint, Teams, Email

Hidden complexity

Discovered URLs inaccessible from page navigation

Where we are now

Current status

  • Phase 1: ✅

  • Phase 2: ✅

  • Phase 3: Content ready, pages built. Pending audit of hidden URLs before full migration of Broadband category

What’s working

  • Process improvements from Phase 1 retro paying off — Phases 2 and 3 running smoother

What’s next

  • Complete Phase 3

  • Finalise URL redirects and dedicated error 404s for retired pages

Key learnings

Process problems need systematic fixes

  • I learned to pause, diagnose root causes with the team, and implement effective solutions rather than patching symptoms

Clear documentation & ownership is key in a large-scale project

  • Project kickoffs are important to outline processes at the start

  • With clear handoffs and documentations, teams move faster

Incomplete projects teach patience and adaptability

  • Not everything ships according to plan

  • My biggest takeaway? Building a scalable process that can be applied to other content migration projects
