Brand microsites deliver niche and sometimes topical content to target audiences. Unlike websites that people visit primarily to consume general information, microsites are built for more specific and current needs. They are also a wonderful medium for building a sense of urgency and driving online engagement.<\/p>\n

Thus, while staying light in terms of content, microsites have to be \u2018macro\u2019 in terms of user experience (UX).<\/p>\n

The most effective brand microsites abide by 3 golden rules \u2013<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Stick to a defined and singular purpose<\/li>\n
  2. Build everything around the user<\/li>\n
  3. Deliver a memorable experience<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Today, we have 5 brand microsites that embody these virtues in their design, development, navigation and overall UX. So let\u2019s jump right in!<\/p>\n
