The internal sales team at LocalEdge benefitted quite a bit from the information we displayed in our Creative Portal. For a while, they had been thinking about the best way to display the Portal to resellers, who needed to have a branded experience to show their clients.

My project was to take the portal and dynamically style it to display a branded experience to resellers, starting with the Chicago Tribune.

The "home" page of the Portal displays website designs, but I needed to cut out a few sections and condense some others. Colors and images for the Chicago Tribune brand would dynamically swapped out before the page loads.

This is a view that a Tribune Salesperson would see:

The Tribune Client view is even more cut down, as they don't need to see the contact form at the bottom or any of the sales links next to it.

Another thing LocalEdge wanted to do once Tribune's clients had access to the portal is get a head start on designing a website for them if they had an order in with LocalEdge. When a Tribune client landed on the home page, they would be greeted with a popup. As all clients would have been sharing one login, this whole system would be designed to work off of cookies.

The popup displayed to Tribune's clients would ask them to start filling out a short form so LocalEdge could get an idea for their industry and design preferences.

When Tribune clients clicked on the "Choose your favorite design" field, the site would take them to a search page which allowed them to favorite a design, or search for other designs to favorite. The form would minimize itself in the bottom corner in case they needed to access it again.

After a design was favorited, the popup would maximize and prompts the client to submit the form.
