VinWonder Project - A Dreamlike Masterpiece

On May 30th, the VinWonders project website, implemented by GMO-Z.com RUNSYSTEM, officially went “go live” with a lot of excitement, helping the client quickly catch the summer 2022 travel wave right on schedule. The website project for VinWonders at https://vinwonders.com was executed by the GMO-Z.com RUNSYSTEM project team within 2.5 months, from March 14th to May 30th, 2022. The site includes information about 06 prominent destinations from South to North such as: Grand World Phu Quoc, Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc, VinWonders Phu Quoc … and 07 iconic attractions including Tata Show, Once Show, Sắc màu Venice, Tinh hoa Việt Nam, Submarine Nha Trang, Kingdom of Ocean, and Night Safari, all urgently built and “launched” on the night of May 30th. This product also marked the collaboration between the BSD and IID departments of the company in a short period of time.

Accelerating with a new project management model The website was developed on Wordpress 5.9. To meet the launch timeline and client requirements, the team applied the Agile model throughout the project to ensure flexibility, adaptability, and iterative sprint-based design approvals. This approach required constant communication between both parties and was especially effective for a visually rich project like VinWonders. It helped minimize design revisions and save implementation time. Clients were also involved throughout the process, allowing timely feedback and ensuring the final product was delivered quickly and accurately to their expectations. This model fostered a great working spirit, especially in terms of teamwork and mutual support. Although some members were new and less experienced, they had a strong learning spirit, adapted quickly, met deadlines, and were ready to tackle difficult client challenges. For the team, VinWonders was a demanding client who placed great emphasis on design and visuals, prompting the design team to work onsite for three weeks to understand and meet their expectations. Some attractions were not yet operational, with limited content and imagery, requiring the team to be innovative. Many visuals were creatively generated based on drafts and client ideas to produce the best design possible.

However, due to the high demands on visuals, the closer to launch, the more the team had to push productivity to 200% to ensure the schedule and product quality. Many completed pages still required revisions and refinements, affecting other workflows. Nevertheless, the client remained highly engaged and supportive, which greatly motivated the team to successfully complete the project, in alignment with VinWonders’ business plans and setting a vibrant start to the summer travel season 2022. Always striving to bring joy and appreciation to our clients After the website officially went live, GMO-Z.com RUNSYSTEM's project team received recognition and sweet gifts representing the three iconic attractions from the client. The project wrap-up meeting was filled with joy and pride as their dedication and hard work yielded well-deserved results. “When I first received the project brief, I thought it would be a challenge for everyone due to the tight timeline and fixed launch date. However, the team was determined to deliver. I anticipated difficulties with design approvals, but actual execution proved even tougher, requiring total focus and maximum effort from everyone to meet deadlines and uphold our commitments. I'm truly pleased and appreciative of the team's efforts and professionalism.” – shared Mr. Ngo Hoang Thanh – Project Manager, Head of System Consulting Department.

Putting aside personal joys, skipping celebrations to stay late at the office and complete tasks, overcoming challenges, pushing creative boundaries, racing to the finish line… All these words combined with wholehearted enthusiasm helped the team earn the client’s deep appreciation. In the coming period, the team will continue to develop new versions, improve performance, and deliver even better experiences on the VinWonders website.
